🌱 SSPD Arrests Four Home Invaders + Peachtree Dunwoody Road Rezoning

Happy Thursday, Sandy Springs! I am your host, Patrick Murray here with three stories to kick off your morning.

First, today's weather:

Heavy evening thunderstorm with a high of 89 and a low of 73.

Here are the top stories today in Sandy Springs:

1. Sandy Springs Police arrested four people in connection to a violent home invasion earlier this month at a local celebrity's home. Marlo Hampton of "Real Housewives of Atlanta" watched on her security cameras on July 1 as the masked men kicked in her door and made an attempted burglary. Investigations revealed that this case is linked to at least 15 other incidents in the area. (WSB Atlanta)
2. A developer successfully secured rezoning privileges to build 15 townhomes at 6669 Peachtree Dunwoody Road. Sandy Springs City Council approved the rezoning in a Tuesday meeting, though initial plans for the property led to some concern from neighbors. The developer, Gary Hammond, constructs affordable housing across five southern states. (The Atlanta Journal Constitution)
3. QC Kinetix is a unique clinic in Sandy Springs offering treatments to patients using regenerative medicine. Although fairly new to the medical field, these treatments are being used to treat a variety of conditions. The clinic aims to provide significant pain reduction, and an overall improved quality of life for their patients. (Yahoo Finance)
