Brick tossed through store window early Friday morning. In other public safety news, the APD will be conducting a career fair on Monday.
According to local news reports, the CVS at 842 Peachtree Street near 6th street was broken into and ransacked early Friday morning.
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports that thieves threw a brick through the front glass door and unlawfully entered the store shortly before 5 a.m.

Tired of hearing of Atlanta crime and want to do something about it? On Monday, the Atlanta Police Department will hold a career fair at its Public Safety Headquarters in downtown Atlanta.
While the economy has been difficult for most employers, the APD is looking for dedicated, community-minded individuals to join their ranks of sworn officers, and become part of their force for positive change in Atlanta.
In the past two years, the department has hired almost 500 new officers in its quest to reach a sworn force of 2,000.
Interviews and testing will begin promptly at 8 a.m., at 226 Peachtree Street, SW, 2nd Floor. Please arrive dressed in business attire with a valid photo government-issued identification card. Anyone arriving after 8 a.m. will not be admitted. Please be prepared to be in attendance for at least six hours. Plan accordingly and come early. For additional information please see here.

aj, I saw some comments from other threads (not this one) that you recently posted on and definitely saw some racist comments that were made prior to my arrival as Midtown Patch editor at the beginning of this month. I removed those said comments. I also want to remind everyone that with our Terms of Use, Patch users agree not to post or transmit to other users anything that contains content that is among other things, "defamatory, abusive, obscene or profane...is threatening, harassing or that promotes racism, bigotry, hatred or physical harm of any kind against any group or individual." Oh, and by the way, not working for free for sure (I would be in the islands if that was the case!), but always looking to improve. Thanks for reading.
