Luck runs out for Thomas County burglary suspects
By what was later called an extreme stroke of luck, a deputy pulled over a black SUV for a traffic violation when he received a report about a home invasion and armed robbery. Inside the SUV before him sat the suspects and all their loot.
“We got very lucky,” said Lt. Steve Clark of the Grady County Sheriff’s Office.
According to Clark, at about 5 p.m. Sunday a juvenile was at home alone on Robert Willis Road. Then, two of the suspects “came over and were sitting with the victim when two other suspects entered the house and started taking things out of the residence,” Clark said. “This appears to all have been premeditated.”
