Burglary Suspects Captured After Manhunt

CUMMING, GA — A multi-jurisdictional partnership led to police capturing four men accused in a burglary spree in the South Forsyth and Alpharetta area, the Forsyth County Sheriff's Office said.

The four men were all arrested Saturday morning, and police believe they were responsible for four business burglaries in Alpharetta and another attempted burglary in south Forsyth County.

Deputies with the Forsyth County Sheriff's Office received a call of a burglary, and pursued the suspects to James Road and Martin Road where they crashed their Jeep and fled on foot. By 10 a.m., two suspects were in custody and the remaining two were apprehended by 11:30 a.m.
