Internet Burglary Ring Busted!
Just a few months into operations, the Fulton County Multi-Jurisdictional Burglary Task force led by the Fulton County District Attorney’s Office, has busted a multi-million dollar internet burglary ring.
Three suspects have been arrested for stealing high-end appliances from homes, marketing them on-line and selling them for a fraction of their worth. Undercover operations began in January following a tip from a Sandy Springs homeowner whose unoccupied home was burglarized. Shortly after the theft, the owner spotted his uniquely marked nine thousand dollar stove for sale on the internet site ‘Craigslist’. The on-line “seller” marketed the stove and a companion luxury refrigerator for less than five thousand dollars. The homeowner notified the Sandy Springs Police Department who turned the lead over to the newly formed Burglary Task Force to solve this case.
