DeKalb County police have arrested six people they believe are responsible for a rash of home burglaries, one of which was recorded and posted on YouTube.

Someone anonymously called in a tip Tuesday night, said DeKalb Police spokeswoman Mekka Parish. When officers arrived at a home on Mark Trail, they found eight stolen flat-screen televisions, three laptop computers and several digital cameras, she said.

Previous story, break-in videos

Some of the items were traced to a break-in Monday morning at a home on Broyles Street in Atlanta’s Grant Park. The victims of that burglary, Dan and Alyssa Kopp, caught the crime on video surveillance and posted the video on YouTube.

Arrested were Adonica Cobb, 20; Kiara Hill, 21; Kenneth Jackson, 23; Degiorgio Jackson, 22; Madre Jenkins, 26; and Carlos Morris, 27. Each is charged with one count of burglary and two counts of theft by taking. Parish said more charges are likely.
