SUMMARY: Crooks broke into Oldn Pharmacy in South Fulton early Thursday morning, using a saw to access a safe and stealing thousands of dollars in medication, including morphine and oxycodone. Store owner Linda Davis, who runs her business to provide affordable medication for the community, expressed her shock and heartbreak over the incident. The thieves disabled the alarm and completed the burglary in under 20 minutes. This break-in follows a similar incident at a beauty supply store in DeKalb County, where criminals stole $10,000 in merchandise. Police believe the suspects may be responsible for multiple break-ins and are seeking information.

A brazen burglary at a South Fulton drug store along Old National Highway, where thousands of dollars in drugs were pilfered, may be connected to a beauty supply store heist in DeKalb County.

SUMMARY: The state election board has introduced new rules, including a requirement for hand counting ballots, though this only pertains to ensuring the total number cast, not counting every contest. While the concept may be beneficial, it requires adequate time and training. Concerns have been raised about tensions between the election board and the Secretary of State’s office, undermining election efficiency. With an upcoming election, there are heightened risks, but preparations are stronger compared to 2020. Safety for poll workers is a priority, with measures like a texting tool for emergencies in place to ensure timely communication with authorities.

The COO of the Georgia Secretary of State’s Office discussed recent State Election Board rule changes, security measures in place for election workers, and more.

Emergency crews began assessing the damage, while many buildings remain closed and access is restricted until assessments are complete. The destruction is overwhelming, exacerbating recovery efforts from previous storms.
