Three Arrested in Atlanta After Fleeing Stolen Vehicle, Hiding in Dumpster
Three suspects were taken into custody after leading law enforcement on a pursuit in a stolen vehicle and attempting to hide in a dumpster on January 24, 2025.
At approximately 10:40 p.m., the Atlanta Police Department’s A.C.E. Unit was alerted to a stolen vehicle near Peachtree Street and Pine Street.
