Eleven people were arrested in connection with a burglary Sunday after a tracking device on one of the items stolen at a grocery store pharmacy led police to the suspects’ location.
DeKalb County officers reportedly tracked the device to a home on Sims Avenue in Northwest Atlanta.
Atlanta police arrived at the home to assist DeKalb County officers, and the suspects were later taken into custody. There were as many as 15 police units at the location.
A witness told CBS46 that officers were at the home for several hours.
Police say an undetermined amount of prescription medication was taken during the crime at the pharmacy on Panola Road. Police also believe the suspects are connected to a number of pharmacy burglaries in DeKalb County and the metro area.
According to Atlanta police, the suspects broke into the pharmacy sometime overnight on Sunday. Police did not say which pharmacy was burglarized.
