Quick response

with units in the area helped the Peachtree City Police Department spoil

a home burglary on Prestwick Lane Monday morning.

When officers

arrived on the scene, witnesses said three males tried to enter the home

and fled into the woods behind the house, police said. All three were

eventually caught by police in three different areas after the incident,

which was reported at 8:45 a.m.

Burglary charges

have been lodged against all three suspects: Corey Eldridge, 17, of Peachtree

City; Giancarlo Moreno, 18, of Fayetteville; and Joshua Rex, 18, of Fayetteville.

Eldridge and Rex were also charged with obstruction of a police officer.

According to

an incident report, a hand hoe was used to shatter a glass door that gave

the three access to the screened porch of the house. No items were reported

missing, the report indicated.

Capt. Stan

Pye of the Peachtree City Police Department said officers on the day shift

did a good job in establishing a perimeter around the area to contain

the suspects.

"We had

two cars that were pretty close by the location," Pye said. "And

we had several others on that side of town also. ... It worked real well."

One of the

suspects was pinned into the Rockspray pond area with no way to get out

because of the officers' alertness, Pye added.
