A new type of thievery called “Slider Crimes” is becoming more and more popular. According to Atlanta police, Slider Crimes are when a motorist gets out and leaves a car door unlocked, the slider slides into the vehicle. Usually, these crimes take place at gas stations. Sometimes the thief will actually steal the car, but more times than not they will grab belongings from the car, then hop in a trail car to leave the scene.
Slider Crimes have recently become increasingly popular in the Atlanta metro. FOX 5 News has dived deeper into this new phenomenon and have uncovered some interesting facts. They found that Atlanta’s “hot spots” for “slider crimes” are West Paces and Northside in Buckhead.

According to 11Alive in 2017, at the 466 gas stations in Fulton County, 361 of them reported crime, most of which were “Slider Crimes.”
Police are continuing to work on solutions to solve this new age theft problem.
