According to police records and media publications, young males in Atlanta have reported being drugged and robbed while out in the posh Buckhead district between 2021 and February of this year.
The police are now advising people who go out in Atlanta to take safety precautions. These include remaining with friends, being mindful of one’s surroundings, reporting any tampering with drinks, paying “close attention” to drinks, and securing banking apps with passwords, among other things.
“The Atlanta Police Department is looking into each of these cases and is aware of them. Officials from the Atlanta Police Department (APD) stated to the News that investigators “routinely look for connections to similar, nearby cases as well as for any possible connection to potential cases throughout our jurisdiction and in surrounding areas.”
Griffin went on to say that although the department is “not at a point of releasing details on each of these investigations,” authorities “are committed to finding who is responsible and apprehending them” and they take the allegations “very seriously.”
