"There’s some similarities. First of all, the number of perpetrators, it’s five suspects on both incidents. They happened a little more than 24 hours apart. All of them were armed with weapons. It’s a home invasion and again, we don’t get those that frequently," said Sgt. Salvador Ortega, Sandy Springs Police Department.
Sandy Springs police said just after 10:30 p.m. Saturday night, five masked gunmen broke into this home on Northside Drive and terrorized a mother and her teenage daughter. The five gunmen eventually left but not before stealing some high-priced items including two cars. Less than 24 hours later, detectives said there was another home invasion some seven miles away on Aberdeen Drive. Again, five masked individuals were armed with guns. A BOLO was put out for the car that was eventually spotted in Dooly County.

"Right now, we’re still processing overall the digital data of their phones, their GPSs, and phone records to see if there’s a connection to the home invasion on Northside Drive on Friday," Sgt. Ortega said.
The dashcam video shows officers pulled the car over and was on the side of the road talking to this man in the red hoodie, police identify as Jamie Brown. Someone inside the car jumps into the driver's seat and takes off and the pursuit begins. Deputies arrested 20-year-old Jacolbeion Williams, 17-year-old Jarius Johnson, 18-year-old Jamie Brown along with two other juveniles.

"We’re also in contact with other agencies, especially the APD to see if they have any similar incidents that they have any information on. We know that they don’t wake up one morning and decide to go commit one of these home invasions. So, I’m pretty sure there’s a pattern and we’re going to find out if there’s any other agencies that are working anything similar," the sergeant said.
Anyone with information in the case is asked to call the Sandy Springs Police Department.
