A break in

the investigation of a home invasion in Fayetteville

Tuesday quickly led to two arrests the following day.

Police

identified a second suspect in the case Tuesday and

issued warrants for his arrest. Police went to the

Atlanta home of that suspect, Gerald Antonio Raysor, on

Wednesday, apprehending him and Thale Antaneal Brownlee.

Brownlee,

25, of 2749 Enon Rd., was arrested for armed robbery,

burglary and possession of a firearm during the

commission of a felony. Raysor, 29, of 1366 Sargeant

Ave., Atlanta, was arrested for armed robbery and

burglary.

The

incident occurred March 8 at a residence on Glenwood

Lane. Investigators from the Fayetteville Police

Department were still actively working the case when the

new information came to light, according to a police

report.

Previously,

they had difficulty tracking down Brownlee because he was

in hiding, said police spokesman Lt. Tom Kirkbride.

The

suspects were apprehended in Atlanta by Fayetteville

police investigators and deputies from the DeKalb County

Sheriff's Department.

According

to police, Brownlee was identified when his fingerprints

were lifted from a roll of duct tape that was used to tie

up Thaddius White. The duct tape was connected to

Brownlee using the surveillance camera from the store

where he purchased the tape.

The

assailants were armed and forced White and his two

children inside, according to initial police reports.

None of the

Whites was seriously injured, Lt. Kirkbride said, but

Thaddius White was tied up before the assailants left the

scene.

The

suspects demanded money from White and escaped with a

small amount of cash, police reported.
