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.
