2. Roswell Police have reported that earlier this month a man was attacked after using the ATM at Wells Fargo ATM on Old Holcomb Bridge Way. After using the ATM, the man was then followed to his home where he was attacked with a gun. The attacker then demanded money and asked if he had CashApp or Apple Pay. The victim was knocked unconscious. The attacker could not be identified and the police are still investigating. (appenmedia.com)
3. The Roswell Police Department has posted about a recent scam that's affecting the residents of Roswell.

An 80-room boutique hotel will also have amenities, meeting and event spaces, as well as a restaurant and rooftop bar and pool. Most of the residents opposed this proposal and cited traffic and the scale of the building as some of the major concerns. The virtual meeting was cut short when it was interrupted by disruptive attendees. The city has promised to address any unanswered questions or concerns. (appenmedia.com)
