“Theft from Lenox was one of Buckhead’s biggest crimes in 2012”. The Atlanta Police Department works closely with Simon Mall to keep the upscale Lenox customers safe. With a mall containing millions of people coming through a year, it’s only expected for there to be some shoplifting. However, this is one of the top crimes in Buckhead. This is mainly caused by those who don’t live in Buckhead and can’t afford the clothes that are high priced in the store. The police say these crimes are mostly committed by juvenile who come to Lenox via MARTA and take rides back to their homes. Police also characterize these juvenile as children that are below average performers in school, not involved in after school activities and have idle time to get into trouble. Trends of shoplifting are decreasing since new police measurements and security have been put into place but the long term visual won’t be able to be shown for a short time.
