Police are familiar with Walker after he was arrested in 2019 for committing similar acts in the same neighborhood.
“In 2019, we actually secured warrants for him and arrested him for burglary in the same Heritage Park subdivision,” said Sgt. JL Watkins with East Point Police.
With assistance from the Fulton County Sheriff’s Office, Walker was “apprehended swiftly.”
