Fayette County

sheriff's deputies and detectives busted up two burglaries as they transpired

during surveillance of the area late last week.

Both burglary

attempts were made at Cycle Specialties, said Lt. Mahlon Donald of the

Fayette County Sheriff's Department. A total of five suspects were arrested

and more arrests are expected later, Donald said.

The first burglary,

late Friday night, involved two suspects attempting to make off with a

four-wheeler they loaded into the back of a pickup, Donald said. One of

the suspects spotted an officer and began to drive the truck away, almost

hitting a deputy, Donald added.

The truck eventually

wrecked, forcing the suspect to flee. The area was surrounded and the

suspect was eventually located, Donald added.

Arrested were

John Cagle Jr., 28, of Fayetteville and Gary Filla, 31, of Riverdale.

They were charged with theft by taking, prowling, obstruction of a police

officer and theft by receiving stolen property.

Detectives

discovered the truck was stolen also, Donald said.

The second

burglary attempt occurred early Sunday morning as an adult and two juveniles

tried to break into Cycle Specialties, Donald said. A window to the building

was broken and the suspects attempted to disable the alarm system, he

added.

Herman Fuller,

19, of Riverdale, was arrested at his apartment there after he was identified

as participating in the scheme. He was charged with burglary. Two juveniles

also were arrested and charged with burglary and obstruction of a police

officer.

The investigation

into both burglaries is ongoing, Donald said.
