Savannah Police Successfully Capture Three Suspects from Most Wanted List, Community Urged to Help Find Remaining Fugitives

Savannah Police Department Cracks Down on Most Wanted List

Hey there, Savannah! Big news on our streets as the Savannah Police Department (SPD) has made some significant strides in their mission to keep our community safe. Just this week, they announced that they have successfully apprehended three individuals from their latest Top 10 Most Wanted list. But the work isn’t done yet – they’re calling on all of us to help find the remaining suspects!

Who’ve They Caught?

As of Tuesday, three suspects have already been taken off the list, which is a huge win for law enforcement and the community alike. The SPD is continuing to hunt down the rest, which includes six men and one woman who are still at large. It’s vital that everyone stays aware of what’s happening in our city.

A Message from Mayor Van Johnson

During a press conference held on Tuesday, Mayor Van Johnson made a passionate plea to the remaining fugitives, urging them to surrender. He said, “The fact is, we are going to find you, and you would much rather come in your way than we bring you in our way.” He clearly emphasized that turning themselves in would be a better choice for them than facing the law’s full force.

Mayor Johnson didn’t just stop there. He extended an invitation to the community, particularly the family and friends of these suspects. “If you know any of these people – mamas, grandmamas, neighbors,” he urged, “please encourage them to contact the police and get a lawyer.” With such an open call, the mayor is hoping to leverage community bonds to help clean up our streets and keep everyone safe.

Understanding the Top 10 Most Wanted

It’s important to understand that the folks on SPD’s Top 10 Most Wanted list aren’t just the most violent criminals lurking in the shadows. Instead, they are identified based on a variety of factors that make them significant threats to our community. The SPD is looking for a collaborative effort from the residents of Savannah to help tackle these issues head-on.
