GA-based nonprofit helps veterans find new careers after serving in military
Service members learn how to be dependable, committed, and disciplined. But many veterans have difficulty finding a job in civilian life once their time in the military is finished. An Alpharetta-based nonprofit is helping veterans launch new careers. James Cardwell knows service. 'I'm a veteran of the US military. I served in the Army, Navy, and the Air Force.' When he started a new mission, looking for a civilian job, his resume needed work. 'Coming from combat arms, tons of management experience, obviously, I worked with lots of different systems. But nothing equated over to the civilian world,' Cardwell said. [DOWNLOAD: Free WSB-TV News app for alerts as news breaks] He connected with Hire Heroes USA. The nonprofit helps military veterans and their spouses with job search skills and information, all for free. The nonprofit has more than 100,000 confirmed hires. Romaine Byrd said resume tweaks can be the key, changing military language into the terms that businesses use. Byrd said local businesses looking for dependable, hard-working employees should get in touch with them. 'If you do have a spot for a veteran that's looking for employment, please reach out and let us know,' he said. Cardwell now works in technology and said Hire Heroes USA helped him take the next step. 'They're your wingman, the guy in the foxhole with you, your fellow sailor right there. Anything you need, they're there to help you out,' Cardwell said.

Thieves target Alpharetta neighborhood: 16 vehicles broken into overnight
The Brief Some neighbors in north Fulton County were out thousands of dollars after crooks broke into more than a dozen cars. It happened early Tuesday morning around Westside Parkway and Encore Parkway in Alpharetta. Police said thieves stole laptops, cash, and even a gun. ALPHARETTA, Ga. - A series of car break-ins is under investigation in Alpharetta. What they're saying Joshua Cody showed FOX 5 the shattered glass on the ground after someone broke into his pickup truck. "My front window on my truck was broken, and my rear driver's side door window had been shattered completely," Cody said. "I need a front window, a rear window, both driver's side windows, and they broke the trim piece on the door." What we know Alpharetta police say that late Monday night or early Tuesday morning, someone broke into 16 vehicles parked in front of homes and grabbed whatever they could: "small amounts of cash, checks, laptops," said Capt. Andrew Splawn with the Alpharetta Police Department. Investigators say a criminal or criminals hit eight of those vehicles at one apartment complex. "They left my bookbag with a tablet and computer. They left my wallet and a bunch of cash," Cody said. Cody says whoever broke in skipped over his valuables, except for one. "They left a bunch of my belongings that were worth money and only stole my gun," Cody said. "I think they targeted a big truck and figured there was a gun in it." Alpharetta police say, in some cases, car owners left their belongings in plain sight. "Most of these crimes are going to be crimes of opportunity," Splawn said. "They were visible from the outside of the vehicle. The majority of the vehicles broken into were entered through unlocked doors and were searched by the offenders." Cody says now he's out thousands of dollars. "I got the quote today; it was like 3,600 dollars in damage," Cody said. What we don't know There are no descriptions of the suspect or suspects so far. Police urge you to lock your doors and hide your belongings so you don't become a victim. The Source The Alpharetta Police Department provided the details for this report.
