Atlanta Family Allegedly Experienced Burglary

The Metro Nashville Police Department received a report detailing the experience of a man, his wife, and their five children, who were staying at a rental property located at 405 Avoca Street.

According to Fox News, the man’s wife was awakened during the night by the sound of running footsteps and a loud bang originating from downstairs.

In an interview of the Atlanta family with the news station, the father, Len Warren, disclosed that the incident occurred around 2:45 a.m. Initially, he brushed it off, assuming that one of their children, was still awake playing video games. However, when the family was preparing to depart the following morning, Warren discovered that his car keys were missing.

Soon, the family realized that several other belongings were also gone. Among the stolen items were a pair of shoes and an iPad, which happened to be in the room where Warren’s 9-year-old daughter was sleeping.

Their vehicle remained parked outside the rental property, raising further questions about the incident. Upon inspecting the premises, Warren noticed footprints on the carpet and the steps leading to the rental.

Atlanta Family Forced to Flee Short-Term Rental

The incident prompted the Atlanta family of seven to immediately vacate the premises and seek refuge in a hotel, according to local reports.

The Atlanta family hastily packed their belongings and relocated to a hotel in Louisville, Kentucky, approximately three hours away from Nashville.

Although the property was equipped with multiple Ring cameras at the front, the police were unable to access any footage at the time of filing the report.

The Atlanta family’s decision to abandon their vacation and seek safety elsewhere underscores the profound impact the alleged burglary had on their sense of security.

Warren explained that he reached out to a third-party company to retrieve the camera footage. However, the company informed him that they first needed to contact the rental host. The exact method by which the suspects gained access to the rental property remains unknown, as there was no evidence of forced entry.
