From the Atlanta Police Department:
The Atlanta Police Department Special Enforcement Section with the assistance of other APD Units served a warrant yesterday in Southwest Atlanta. As a result of the warrant several people were arrested and numerous items were seized. Among the items were 4 firearms, 3 flat panel televisions, ammunition, bolt cutters, 1 purse, 2 designer shirts and 10 pair of designer blue jeans. A news conference will be held today at 10:00am on the 2nd floor of City Hall East to provide further details.
If you recall, Fox 5 reported a suspected link between some of the “blue-jean bandit” robberies and the 30 Deep Gang. Jonathan Redding, the teen who was arrested in connection with the John Henderson murder, was suspected to be a 30 Deep member.
UPDATE: The AJC’s Mike Morris has more details:
Two adults and three juveniles, ranging in age from 14 to 25, were arrested, and police said four of the suspects are known members of the “30 Deep” gang that was recently connected to the Jan. 7 killing of Grant Park bartender John Henderson.
However, police said Friday that they had not been able to connect any of those arrested Thursday night to Henderson’s slaying.

If Atlanta had any type of comprehensive policing program, fully supported by the politicians and residents of this city, this crap would have been nipped in the bud a long time ago.

It looks like the APD has a new PR person. The strategy seems to be – self promote the good things to try and balance out the bad things from the media.
