Burglar in custody after Cobb County SWAT team worked to remove suspect from attic at Windy Hill Road business

The large police presence interrupted traffic flow on the busy road Tuesday morning.

COBB COUNTY, Ga. — A person is under arrest for allegedly trying to rob a business on a busy road north of Truist Park, Cobb County Police said on Tuesday.

Officers were dispatched after an alarm went off at a business connected to several others on Windy Hill Road, a short way before it intersects with Cobb Parkway.

The department reported seeing the suspect by the front door of the business and tried to confront them. That's when Cobb County police said the person ran back inside. 

A SWAT team with the department came out and was able to get the suspect out of the attic around 9:30 a.m. 

Cobb Police still have not said what business it was, but along the row of retail businesses, it includes a liquor store, a mini-mart and a wings restaurant. 

The significant police response interrupted traffic flow in the area for a time.
