DEL.ICIO.USBurglars with sledgehammers foiled by concrete wall

A pair of would-be burglars did a lot of smashing but no grabbing at a Cobb County electronics store early Tuesday morning and are now in the custody of police.
The suspects used sledgehammers to try to bust through a concrete wall behind the Micro Center computer store in the Powers Ferry Shopping Center at 1275 Powers Ferry Road. But they got more than a little resistance from the brick-and-mortar, which turned out to be two layers thick. Neighbors overheard the noise at about 1 a.m. Tuesday and called police, who spotted the suspects in mid-swing.
