Corey Thomas
Two busted for breaking into cars
Two men have been arrested in connection with numerous entering an auto cases in Pike and surrounding counties.
Corey Thomas, 32, was arrested by the Pike County sheriff's office after an investigation that spanned several months. Also arrested was Shadric Dixon, 33, of Griffin. Both have extensive criminal histories including several convictions for entering autos. Thomas is on parole after spending time in prison for the crime.
"Investigators conducted many hours of surveillance on these suspects to learn their patterns of illegal activities and associates involved in the crimes," said sheriff Jimmy Thomas.
The pair have been linked to auto break-ins in Pike, Fayette, Lamar, Spalding and Henry counties and are facing charges in all of them.
C. Thomas was in the Pike County jail awaiting a bond hearing Thursday while Dixon was being housed in the Fayette County jail. They face a total of 10 counts of entering an auto, which carry prison terms of five years each.
Those who may have purchased items from the suspects are asked to call the sheriff's office at 770-567-8431.
