Four alleged Clayton County gang members are in jail, charged with breaking into dozens of businesses throughout the metro [Atlanta] area and stealing more than 200 flat-screen televisions….

Police announced the arrests Wednesday of four members of the gang, who called themselves the “Hit Squad,” after linking them to burglaries that stretched from Atlanta to Kennesaw to Jonesboro to Conyers.

More than 50 investigators from 17 police agencies joined forces last year after noticing a spike in burglaries and flat-screen TV thefts. In all of the burglaries, police noticed the same car fleeing the scene: a gold Mercedes.

Officers spent months searching for the Mercedes, but the break didn’t come until one of the suspects dropped a Doritos bag out of the car while breaking into a Smyrna business, Smyrna Det. Chris Singleton said.

Detectives identified Devon Sherman Anderson Jr., the owner of the Mercedes and leader of the burglary ring, through his fingerprint left on the Doritos bag, police said.

Har!
