Investigators said it all started when homeowners reported dozens of car break-ins at the Evans Farms subdivision. Cherokee County deputies spotted two cars that the suspects were in and tried to stop them. But they said the drivers sped off into Forsyth County.
A Forsyth County deputy performed a PIT maneuver to stop one of the cars and then, arrested the two people inside.
Deputies used spiked strips to stop the other car. Three people inside ran. Deputies and a K-9 tracked them down. Deputies said the dog bit one of them.
Christopher Alexander Avery and Rodney Bernard Ooten, both 18, of Atlanta, and Jobari Wise, 17, Forrest Park, along with two juveniles, ages 13 and 15, were taken into custody. Charges include 38 counts of entering autos, burglary, fleeing and speeding.
