Gwinnett County Police received a citizen complaint about a vehicle that was reportedly speeding through a neighborhood and running a stop sign at the same time every morning. Officers responded by setting up in the area, and sure enough, the vehicle came through right on schedule doing exactly what had been reported.

A traffic stop was conducted, and the driver stated that she did stop at the stop sign. However, as the video clearly shows, that was not the case.

We would like to remind everyone that a stop sign requires drivers to come to a complete stop before proceeding through the intersection. Rolling through stop signs may seem minor, but it can quickly lead to serious crashes, especially in residential neighborhoods where children, pedestrians, and other vehicles may be nearby. Slow down, pay attention, and make full stops.

On April 19, Officer R. Brannon #2686 received a Flock camera alert that a vehicle associated with a homicide suspect from another agency was nearby in the area he was patrolling. Officer Brannon located the vehicle and attempted to conduct a traffic stop, but the driver refused to stop.

A pursuit followed, and once it was safe to do so, Officer Brannon performed a successful PIT maneuver to bring the chase to an end. Officers then made contact with the driver, Charles Nichols, who was found to have active homicide warrants out of another jurisdiction.

A Flock alert helped ensure a quick response, which led to the arrest of a homicide suspect.

Gwinnett County Police detectives are requesting the public's assistance in locating a missing juvenile.

On June 2, 15-year-old London Henville was reported missing by her father. It was learned that she left her residence in Lawrenceville between 1 a.m. and 3 a.m. that morning. After receiving the report, London was entered into the Georgia Crime Information Center (GCIC) and National Crime Information Center (NCIC) databases, allowing law enforcement agencies throughout Georgia and the United States to identify and locate missing persons.

Since being reported missing, it was discovered that London traveled to residences in Atlanta, DeKalb County, and Clayton County.

London is described as a Black female, 5 feet 7 inches tall, weighing approximately 130 pounds, with long braids.

Detectives would also like to remind the public that knowingly assisting, transporting, concealing, or harboring a missing juvenile may result in criminal charges.
