On Christmas Eve, Sandy Springs police responded to multiple 911 calls about an attempted gift theft near Mount Vernon Highway and Sandy Springs Circle. The suspect, described humorously as a green menace, was apprehended after a slow-speed chase, and a young witness, Cindy Lou Who, noted that he returned most of the stolen items, although he forgot the turkey. The incident ended with the Grinch being taken into custody, leaving questions about how the toddler intended to fulfill her promise to help him.
