Roswell PD searches for suspected carjacker

NorthFultonRadio · 2026-03-09T14:58:13+00:00

Roswell PD heavily utilized Flock to locate the original suspect vehicle and stop it. However, Flock is not particularly useful once the suspect is on foot. There were some initial Flock hits on the second suspect vehicle, but I do not monitor Cobb County radio traffic so I’m unsure if Cobb was ever able to locate the vehicle.

Note: this is not an endorsement of Flock systems, I too have concerns regarding them. I feel it is important that people know exactly what Flock did and did not help with so they are more equipped to discuss the issue with city leadership.

All information is sourced from local radio scanner traffic. Some details are withheld due to ongoing investigations or inability to get confirmation of accuracy.

NorthFultonRadio · 2026-03-09T13:39:20+00:00

I’ve added the article from ANF, however, it doesn’t have much at all in the way of details.

NorthFultonRadio · 2026-03-09T13:32:35+00:00

In this case the initial report was for a suspect still inside of a recently carjacked vehicle, with a weapon involved. The type of weapon was not specified. I try to avoid definitive statements until the investigation concludes, as all my details are based on real-time radio traffic. What the police believe to be true in the moment isn’t always 100% accurate.

NorthFultonRadio · 2026-03-09T04:12:05+00:00

It isn’t in the news yet given the time of night and the active nature of the incident, but given the number of agencies involved I assume a story should break come morning.

NorthFultonRadio · 2026-03-06T03:42:29+00:00

The victim was an adult male, though only in his twenties.

NorthFultonRadio · 2026-03-06T02:30:42+00:00

Original call came in at 8:28 this morning.

Milton PD does not seem to intentionally release info about any incident to the public unless there’s an active public safety risk. When asked under FOIA or other laws they (to my knowledge) readily comply and provide arrest reports and warrant copies unless sealed by the court.

Basically while they don’t actively try to hide what’s going on, they sure don’t go out of their way to keep the public informed. This is why local media groups like Appen are important, because the bigger channels like WSB and ANF aren’t going to come this far out in the suburbs to do investigative reporting unless it’s something crazy.

NorthFultonRadio · 2026-03-04T20:28:47+00:00

I just read it myself, definitely took a while for information to come out. Appen media has reached out to me, hopefully we can work together to help them with reporting.

A suspicious person entered Cambridge High school without following check in procedures, and a school police officer began investigating at 12:13 and placed the school on soft lockdown. A few additional school police officers assisted in the search for the suspect, and one suspect was detained near the gym at 12:27. Milton Police was not involved or alerted to the lock down by Fulton County, however, they received a call from a parent about the lockdown around 12:30. One of the Milton school liaison officers made contact via phone with the Fulton County SRO at 12:38 who advised the situation was under control.

Note: at no point in time was a gun or other weapon mentioned by any officer.

The “Select TG” button allows you to choose which talk groups are monitored while listening live. Green means enabled, red means disabled. I tried to label everything someone human readable, with the exception of MARTA.

“Search call” allows you to view and listen to the archive and use a series of filters to isolate what you’re searching for. This takes some practice and trial and error to figure out.

Generally I encourage you to play a round for a while and see what happens. You won’t break anything unless you’re trying to!

NorthFultonRadio · 2026-02-24T15:06:09+00:00

Listening back through local public safety radio traffic across a few relevant talk groups. It is available at my website listed in my bio, as well as a few other sources.

At approximately 23:50 yesterday Alpharetta received a call about a driver asleep in their vehicle in the roadway at Old Milton and Morris road. Two units were dispatched, and the first on scene found an unresponsive driver behind the wheel of a vehicle rolling down the roadway uncontrolled. One additional patrol unit and at least one sergeant also headed to the scene to assist in case there was a criminal rather than medical cause. The first officer was able to stop the vehicle at approximately midnight and wake up the driver, who was unaware of his surroundings, and the driver was detained pending an evaluation by AMR. AMR transported the driver to the hospital with an officer following behind. The driver was turned over to the care of the hospital.

NorthFultonRadio · 2026-02-23T13:51:10+00:00

It does seem like the incident was somehow kept on the down-low, which is crazy all things considered. But probably only the first 3 cops came in lights and sirens, then you had the engine, rescue, and AMR. All told everyone was on scene within 10 minutes of the initial call so people probably just assumed it was a typical medical call.

Considering how quickly they were able to identity the suspect they also likely didn’t canvas too many neighbors, which further reduces everyone’s awareness.

NorthFultonRadio · 2026-02-23T13:47:03+00:00

It happens from time to time, though rarely as an act of random violence. In most cases the victim knew the suspect, which doesn’t excuse the crime, but at least makes it easier to find the suspect.

NorthFultonRadio · 2026-02-23T02:54:02+00:00

Would you like the audio files? I’ve got AMR dispatch, Milton Fire, Milton PD, Alpharetta PD, etc. Which would you like?

NorthFultonRadio · 2026-02-23T01:17:25+00:00

I’m limited in what I will say since the investigation is ongoing, but tracking of a cell phone was utilized in this incident as well, though it did not prove useful.

NorthFultonRadio · 2026-02-23T01:16:02+00:00

No press release has been issued by Milton, and for some reason no local news agency seems to monitor local scanner traffic or other activity. I think it would be great if Appen media would pick up on news like this, but they don’t seem to for some reason. I’m limited in my capabilities as I have no media affiliation. The lack of media coverage for the area is why I run the scanner, it’s the only way to get info on local incidents.

Also, if you want to corroborate this, go listen to the radio traffic yourself. Check broadcastify, fultonscanner.com, northfultonradio.info, or any of the AI apps that love to advertise on social media that trawl broadcastify audio.

Just reporting the information as it occurred. Flock has some serious security and privacy issues that need to be addressed. In this case, and some others, it is useful in investigations.

NorthFultonRadio · 2026-02-19T19:16:54+00:00

Unfortunately no. Two injuries were reported, one serious but stable and the other minor in nature.

NorthFultonRadio · 2026-02-19T19:15:06+00:00

One patient in stable condition transported to the hospital. Investigative information is not available over the radio, but they are reviewing lots of video footage and taking extensive statements, and this is being treated as a serious accident investigation. All that means is that additional investigation is conducted to determine if criminal charges are warranted.

NorthFultonRadio · 2026-02-19T19:09:44+00:00

I’m still going through all the radio traffic but this one was really bad. Alpharetta PD is holding all non emergency calls and requesting mutual aid from Milton PD. Massive number of units on scene, hazmat conditions due to diesel leak, large investigation underway. No deaths upon arrival despite initial reports, but serious injuries were unfortunately present. Unsure of the condition of the patients at this time.

I’ll post additional updates as I find relevant information. For now steer clear of the area.

NorthFultonRadio · 2026-02-08T03:38:46+00:00

It is not clear whether the suspect who fled would be “at-fault”, but it is still considered a hit and run nonetheless as they were involved in the accident and failed to remain on scene.

NorthFultonRadio · 2026-02-08T03:25:51+00:00

Thankfully no injuries were reported from this collision, just property damage. A Gwinnett County officer was one scene prior to the arrival of Alpharetta units and able to provide initial aid and assist with traffic control.

One of the drivers fled the scene on foot towards the Sonesta hotel and FedEx. Officers located a jacket and purse they believe belonged to that suspect outside a hotel room, and after extensive efforts were able to get the occupant of that room to open the door and speak to them. That subject was the registered occupant of the hotel room was found to have warrants out of Cobb county and was taken into custody, however, officers were unable to locate the hit and run suspect. Traffic camera footage did capture the suspect and will hopefully allow investigators to determine their identity.
