Great work, detectives. These predators need to be caught and put away.
Good job Chief Lovett and your detective team. Your actions to locate and arrest this alleged predator of seniors is excellent work. Elder abuse and financial exploitation is a very serious and growing issue - It is a CRIME - and a felony in GA. A victim is devistated both emotionally and financially. Hopefully the justice system will bring justice to this victim and others.
