Peachtree City

police have collared two youngsters suspected of committing a rash of

home burglaries in Peachtree City last week.

Garvey Imhotep,

17, of Atlanta and a juvenile were arrested July 13 for four counts of

burglary and one count of automobile theft. The pair burglarized four

homes in Peachtree City two days before, taking jewelry, firearms, checks

and an automobile, according to police.

A 1999 black

Mercedes was taken from one of the residences, according to warrants taken

for Imhotep's arrest. Two handguns were stolen from another home, the

warrants indicated.

Two of the

burglaries took place in the Braelinn Green subdivision; the other locations

were a home in the Greensway subdivision and a home on North Peachtree

Parkway.

The break in

the case came when the juvenile tried to cash a check that was stolen

from one of the homes, according to police. Detectives were alerted and

responded to the Peachtree National Bank Braelinn Branch, police said.

Imhotep was

later located in Atlanta operating the stolen vehicle, police said. The

case is still under investigation, according to police.
