A video shows five young men, two of whom are juveniles, riding around Cobb County armed with handguns, according to Channel 2 Action News.
Cobb County District Attorney Vic Reynolds told Channel 2 the video, which was attached to an officer safety bulletin, poses a clear danger to the public.
“It’s particularly scary if it’s young kids who don’t have the whereabouts about them to realize what they’re about to get into,” Reynolds said.
Two of the men in the car have pending entering auto charges against them in Cobb County, Reynolds told Channel 2.
He said Cobb, Fulton and other metro area counties have seen a spike in auto crime.
The video, which was taken several months ago, was recently sent to several departments investigating a large gang suspected in car break-ins across metro Atlanta.
One of the young men believed to be charged in Cobb County also faces serious charges at Fulton County Juvenile Court that could result in him being committed to a youth detention center depending on the outcome, according to Channel 2.
