Deputies: suspects caught with stolen items in car

A Fayetteville resident helped sheriff’s deputies solve his burglary almost right on the spot Thursday afternoon, police said.

The deputy was taking information about the incident when the resident noticed a vehicle looking like the suspects’ auto drove by on Ga. Highway 54, said Lt. Tommy Pope of the Fayette County Sheriff’s Department.

The deputy pursued the vehicle, made a traffic stop and found items tying them to the burglary and another burglary they had just committed barely across the Fayette County line in Clayton County’s Rivers Edge subdivision, Pope said.

The three occupants of the car, all with addresses in Clayton County, were Dariana Destiny Johnson, 17, of Kimberwood Drive, Hampton, Akeem Jamal Cayo, 18, of Ethan Moore Road, Jonesboro and a 16-year-old juvenile of Jonesboro.

Each faces charges of burglary, criminal attempt to commit burglary and theft by receiving stolen property.
