Three teenagers were arrested early Wednesday morning after a citizen reported suspicious activity in Tyrone’s Tullamore subdivision, police said.

The call came in around 4 a.m. and when two officers responded to the scene, they noticed one of the youths coming out of a wooded area next to a home, said Police Chief Johnny Hay.

It was dark at the time, but when daylight broke, it became clear what was going on, Hay said. The suspects were caught with a digital camera and a laptop computer, and much of the other items that had been taken were also recovered, Hay said.

Arrested were Nicholas Luciano, 18, of Peachtree City, Anthony Infiorati-Finn, 18, of Peachtree City and Allen P. Sarbis, 18, of Atlanta, police said. Each was charged with three counts of entering an auto with intent to commit theft, Hay said.

The suspect who emerged from the woods initially told police that he had lost his wallet in the wooded area the day before and he had been using a flashlight to look for the wallet in the dark, Hay said.
