Police have

apprehended two juveniles they claim are responsible for a rash of golf

cart thefts in Peachtree City.

The youths

are suspected of working together on three of the five cart thefts, while

one of the juveniles is also suspected of two additional cart thefts.

The thefts

occurred between April 2 and April 7 at K-Mart, the El Ranchero restaurant

at the Braelinn shopping center (twice), the Y-Knot sports bar and a residence

on Cloister Drive, according to police reports.

One of the

youths has been charged with seven counts of theft by taking a motor vehicle

(golf cart) along with loitering and prowling and obstruction of a law

enforcement officer. The other suspect was charged with three counts of

theft by taking a motor vehicle (golf cart) and criminal trespassing.

They will face

those charges in Fayette County's juvenile court. The suspects' names

were not released due to a Georgia law that protects juveniles who commit

crimes from being named publicly except for several violent offenses.
