Rockmart Police Arrest Suspect With Help From the Community

Earlier this week, the city of Rockmart was terrorized by someone breaking into numerous vehicles and businesses. We’re thankful that we had so many amazing citizens who shared their surveillance camera footage with us. Our officers and detectives sorted through the footage and evidence to identify the perpetrator. They were able to identify our suspect as Tajai Quevonte Neal from a 612 Golden Street address.

Earlier today, several officers from RPD surrounded that residence and took Tajai Neal into custody. He attempted to flee through a window, but that effort was unsuccessful. Several items from the thefts were located inside the apartment as well. We will soon be in contact with the victims to return the stolen property that we recovered. He was arrested and charged with several felony charges that will all be listed on the jail site once he is booked in. Thanks again for your cooperation, assistance and patience.
