A man from South Georgia wanted in dozens of car break-ins in Fulton and DeKalb counties has been captured by police.

Marcus James Smith, 44, of Claxton, was arrested Saturday and accused of more than 30 crimes, Atlanta police spokesman Anthony Grant said. Another man, Jarvis Smith, was also arrested by APD in connection with the string of crimes.
