FULTON COUNTY, Ga. —

Police in one community are using heavy machinery normally used for SWAT situations to deal with a spate of burglaries and home invasions.

Fulton County police are patrolling the streets near Estonian Drive in an armored vehicle that looks like something you'd see during war, said south Fulton County resident John Hunter.

"It's a bit much. It's not Afghanistan," Hunter said.

Officers said the equipment is essential in their war on crime.

"It's all in an effort to try to curb all of the crime that's going on," Fulton County police Det. Melissa Parker said.
