A burglary suspect who smashed

his way into two Peachtree City businesses early Wednesday morning was

apprehended by Coweta County deputies after his vehicle was spotted by

Peachtree City officers.

Andre Tyler, 41, of Norcross

is charged with two counts of criminal attempt to commit burglary and

one count of carrying a concealed weapon. He may also face up to 10 burglary

charges from other jurisdictions.

Police said Tyler's vehicle

was first spotted at the Waffle House on Ga. Highway 54 East around 3:45

a.m. when Cpl. Chris Robinson noticed it was similar to a vehicle reportedly

involved in similar incidents in Henry County. Robinson wrote down the

tag number and description of the vehicle but left the area after nothing

amiss was found, police said.

Shortly thereafter, the alarm

went off at the Chin-Chin Chinese restaurant, where someone had tried

to break in, police said.

Shift supervisors then alerted

Coweta deputies the suspect might be traveling toward Coweta and, sure

enough, a second alarm was reported at Line Creek Liquor on Hwy. 54 West

close to the Coweta line.

Cpl. Dan Hunt responded and

noticed a vehicle which he attempted to catch up to and stop. But Coweta

deputies were able to stop the vehicle first, and evidence linking Tyler

to both burglaries was found in his vehicle and on his person, police

said.
