Justice Is Served

Saturday Oct. 22 at around 08:00 AM in Snellville GA my sister and her family were victims of a home invasion.

Here's what happened:

First thing I need to point out, is that they had their home up for sell at the time.
\On that date, my sister Melanie, her husband Gary and my then 6 year old niece Sarah woke up at around 0745 or so. Sarah was playing with her Barbies or watching TV or something like that. At around 0800 they saw a truck pull up in their driveway and saw two men get out. They saw most of this on their security monitor.

One of the men knocked on the door. Gary answered, while Melanie put on something to wear. The one who knocked talked to Gary about the house for a few moments, while the other walked around in the yard.

Gary told them about the contract they already had and that it wasn't a good time to see it, but they could come back with a Realtor later on. The one that stayed at the door, then pulled a gun, and held it to Gary's chest.

Gary tried to fight him off and get back into the house. He was shot in the left arm. Had he not knocked the man's gun hand partially away, he'd of probably been shot in the chest and killed.

The men then made their way into the house. Melanie and Sarah came running out to the hallway. Melanie told Sarah to run and hide. One of the men followed her into her room and dragged her out at gun point. They were then all made to lay in the floor, the front door [which can not be seen from the road] was closed and they were all bound with duct tape.

While doing this, they kept kicking Gary in the ribs and taunting him. They told my sister they they had her id cards and if she called the police, they'd come back and rape, molest and kill Sarah in front of her.

The men then took as much as they could including jewelry, money, guns, bank cards, Gary's SUV etc.

About three weeks later there was a late night robbery at a Fuddruckers. It was closed and the only person there was a delivery guy. They robbed him, and then bound him with tape and put him in the back of his delivery truck. He was able to escape.

Those robbers went right to a Applebees and robbed the employees that were cleaning up. They made the manager remove all of her clothes, but her panties. They tied them up as well.

As they were escaping that robbery, they saw a police car and panicked. Their erratic driving caught his attention and he chased them. A second car joined that chase, and the men were pulled over.

Around that same time, the police got the APB on the robbery. It was them. They were arrested. A search of the revealed my sister's credit card, SS card etc.

That's the story of how they were caught. Next post will be the trial.
