A police stakeout at a local industrial building netted the arrest of two suspects for burglary and related charges early Sunday morning.
Michael Poindexter and Joshua Hughes, both of Douglasville, were arrested after attempting to remove copper wiring from the Photocircuits building at 810 Dividend Drive, police said.
The pair arrived after 1:45 a.m. Sunday morning and caused damage in excess of $60,000, police said. The copper wiring they were trying to steal had a value of more than $5,000, police said.
The stakeout was initiated after a similar recent burglary at the same building, police said.
Poindexter is charged with two counts of burglary, criminal damage and possession of tools for the commission of a crime. Hughes is charged with burglary, criminal damage to property and possession of tools for the commission of a crime.
