GEORGIA – Multi-agency cooperation led to the arrest of three suspects accused of commercial burglary of a moving vehicle, the Haralson County Sheriff’s Office said.

On Wednesday, the HCSO was notified by the Randolph County Sheriff’s Office that a commercial burglary had occurred in its area and that a Penske truck suspected of being involved in the burglary was located near a Walmart store in Bremen.

When HCSO officers arrived on scene, they found the truck and attempted to stop it, but the driver jumped out of the truck and ran without putting it in gear.
