Which local malls practice the most car break-ins?

Updated: Feb 24, two thousand sixteen – Five:23 PM

ATLANTA – A year`s worth of police data shows that car break-ins are much more common at one specific metro Atlanta mall than other large malls in the area.Channel two Act News obtained car break-in data for two thousand fifteen for more than a dozen of the largest malls in metro Atlanta.

The largest mall in the state is the Mall of Georgia, but it wasn`t even close to having the largest number of break-ins. Gwinnett police responded to only fifty car break-ins there last year.

Conner Bennett parked his truck at the Mall of Georgia last December while he and his gf, Breanna Turner, had dinner at the Cheesecake Factory.

Bennett`s windows are tinted and Turner left her purse partially tucked under the passenger seat on the floor of the truck.

When they went back to the truck, they spotted that his passenger window was no longer there. Neither was Turner`s purse.

«I was downright shocked, because you just don`t expect that to happen,» Bennett said.

«There`s a chick who works at the mall who actually told my mom there had been a few break-ins and the female she worked with had her car violated into,» Turner said.

The odds of being a victim of a car break-in were almost three times higher at Cumberland Mall last year. Cumberland Mall was at the top of the list of break-ins, with one hundred forty reported last year.

“It`s a big problem,” Cobb County Police Officer Alicia Chilton said. “I did work that area, so I’m familiar with how often it happens.”

Chilton said it takes about thirty seconds for a crook to break into a vehicle and take whatever is inwards.

“Maybe a gym bag with your clothes in it, you know, that’s not super significant to most people. But to a bad fellow, that may be a crime of chance,» Chilton said.

Officers say those bad guys are using petite chunks of a spark buttplug to smash car windows. They also use screwdrivers to pop door locks.

Atlanta Police (?) Public Information Officer Kim Jones has sound advice to lower your chances of having someone break into your car.

“Leave your car the way it was when you purchased it. There was nothing in it,” Jones said.

She said most people don`t do that.

Channel two photographer Justin Crate spent twenty minutes at Cumberland Mall, where most break-ins were reported last year, and found purses, shopping bags, backpacks and even electronics out in the open.

Cumberland Mall management didn`t react to repeated requests for comment.

Here is a accomplish list of malls that we checked and the number of break-ins reported to police in 2015:

  1. Cumberland Mall: 140
  2. Lenox Square: 105
  3. The Mall at Stonecrest: 82
  4. Gallery at South DeKalb: 57
  5. Perimeter Mall: 52
  6. Mall of Georgia: 50
  7. Greenbriar Mall: 46
  8. Phipps Plaza: 40
  9. Sugarloaf Mills: 32
  10. Arbor Place Mall: 24
  11. Northlake Mall: 22
  12. Town Center at Cobb: Legitimate
  13. Gwinnett Place Mall: 13
  14. North Point Mall: 9
  15. Santa Fe Mall: 7
