Police believe
five black males suspected in the recent home invasion robbery of a Fayetteville
couple hid near the residence waiting for someone to come home.
One of the
suspects, Kevin Zardies, 36, of College Park, is already in custody while
detectives seek to identify four others involved, according to Lt. Tom
Kirkbride of the Fayetteville Police Department.
The couple,
who live on Woodbyne Drive, were bound with duct tape in the foyer area
of the house and the suspects got away with $5,000 in cash and $70,000
in jewelry, according to law enforcement documents. One or both of the
victims was approached after arriving home during the late evening hours
of Friday, Nov. 9, Kirkbride said.
None of the
articles taken in the heist have been recovered yet, he added.
The female
victim was able to eventually free herself of the duct tape and call 911,
according to police.
The warrant
for Zardies's arrest indicates he used intimidation to rob the couple,
placing them in fear of serious bodily injury.
Zardies is
being held at the Fayette County Jail after Magistrate Court Judge A.K.
Melear denied him bond in a hearing last week.
Detectives
are still investigating the case, attempting to identify more of the suspects.
Anyone with information on this incident is asked to contact the Fayetteville
Police Department at 770-461-4441.
