A group of burglars stole nearly $1 million worth of electronics from businesses in Duluth and Lawrenceville in one night, the Gwinnett County Police Department said.
Four men wearing all black were dropped off at Dow Electronics on Boggs Road in Duluth around 10 p.m. on Sept. 23. Three walked toward the shipping bay door and one waited near the woods; after 15 minutes, the other three ran towards the woods with an additional person, police said. An 18-wheeler truck came to the business four hours later, around 2 a.m., and parked the trailer near the shipping bay door. The trailer was loaded with $350,000 worth of items and left the scene.
The trailer used in the burglary had been reported stolen in Atlanta previously. It was later recovered in Miami, police said.
Another burglary occurred between Oct. 3 and Oct. 8 at Stampede Presentation Products in Lawrenceville. Two 18-wheeler trucks were used to take approximately $600,000 worth of items, police said.
Detectives believe that these burglaries may have been committed by the same suspects.
Anyone with information about this case is asked to contact Gwinnett County detectives at 770-513-5300 or Crime Stoppers at 404-577-8477. Crime Stoppers tips may be rewarded with up to $2,000 if they lead to an arrest or indictment.
