Two members of a burglary crew suspected of hitting hundreds of DeKalb County homes were arrested, DeKalb police said.

Moch Lual, 18, and Khadar Samatar, 19, were arrested Wednesday and accused of burglary, according to jail records.

The two are members of a Clarkston-based burglary crew of more than 20 that police say is branching out into other areas.

Samatar and Lual were picked up Tuesday when police found them with a dark blue Crown Victoria — identified from other burglaries — filled with a flat screen TV, a camera, a 100-year-old jewelry box and a computer, according to WSB TV.
