FORSYTH COUNTY, Ga. -- Alpharetta Department of Public Safety officials said three men accused of staging a violent home invasion while posing as law enforcement officers have been arrested.
Investigators said the men bound their victims in duct tape and shot pepper spray into their eyes.
Forsyth County Sheriff’s Office deputies responded to a home invasion at a mobile home on Aug. 15. Police said a broadcast was issued to all area law enforcement agencies to be on the lookout for a black Ford Crown Victoria with tinted windows.
Knowing the suspects were armed, Alpharetta police said they took extra caution in approaching the vehicle after an officer stopped it on Old Milton Parkway an hour after the home invasion. Officials said the three men surrendered peacefully.
“When we seized the vehicle, we did recover loaded handguns, a shotgun, pepper spray, security badges and police-type duty belts. These people were very determined to impersonate police officials," said George Gordon of the Alpharetta Police Department.
Police identified the three men as Orlin Avila-Castellano, Bryan Manuel Bonilla and Jairo De Los Santos. They were arrested and charged with several felonies.
Police said two of the three men under arrest are illegal immigrants. The third is in the United States on a VC.
If these 3 guys showed up at your house door and said they were police officers would you believe them?
