Forsyth County Sheriff's Patch

There recently has been a rash of car break-ins along the Forsyth County Big Creek Greenway, particularly on McFarland Parkway.  According to NorthFulton.com, on April 30th, two men were arrested by Forsyth County Deputies while breaking into a car along the Greenway.  The police had been able to analyze data from prior thefts and setup a stakeout to catch the thieves in action.

This should act as a reminder to keep your valuables out of sight, or leave them at home when parking at the Big Creek Greenway.  And always remember to lock your doors.

• When possible, carpool to the parking lots.
• If you are within walking distance of the greenways, consider riding your bike or walking to the greenway as opposed to driving.
• There are no lines in most of the parking lots, so be sure not to take up more space than needed when parking.  Leave enough room for your neighbor to get in and out of their car too.
• Be sure to store any valuables out of sight.  There has been an increase in break-ins around the greenway parking lots with the increase in use.
• Make sure you lock your vehicle while using the trail.
• Be courteous to everyone on the greenway during these high use months.  If on a bike, yield to those on foot.  If traveling by foot, leave space on your left for passing.

Enjoy the weather and have fun on the trails, the hot summer months are right around the corner and who knows when the rainy season will return!

Remember to Lock Your Car Doors!
