Masked Intruders Steal 2 Vehicles From Buckhead Home

BUCKHEAD, GA -- Three masked men fled a Buckhead home in the family's two cars after the man of the house scared them away, according to news reports.

No one was hurt in the incident, but what has concerned the family -- a couple and their teenage daughter -- is that one of the home invaders dropped a gun while leaving.

The car theft happened about 1:30 a.m. Tuesday on Norfleet Road in northwest Atlanta.

“I think if my husband had confronted them, it could have gone badly, so good that he startled them the way they did,” Valerie Levine told the Atlanta Journal-Constitution.

Police said they will add area patrols because of the incident.

“We are concerned about any crime that occurs within the community,” Officer Lisa Bender told WSB-TV. “We will increase our presence in that area.”
