Two Cobb County teens remained in the Douglas County Jail without bond Friday, charged with burglarizing the home of a 90-year-old Douglas County woman.

According to the Douglas County Sheriff's Office, the suspects kicked in the door of the home on Moss Drive on Tuesday, but fled when the elderly victim screamed.

Deputies stopped a suspicious Ford Ranger pickup truck leaving the area and found evidence in the truck that led them to arrest the three young males in the truck, according to a release from the Sheriff's Office. Two were adults and the third was a juvenile.

Matthew Jones, 19, of Austell, and Taylor Griffin, 17, of Mableton, were charged with burglary and are being held in the county jail without bond. The name of the juvenile has not been released.
