Five people who were in the process of burglarizing a home on Spring Place Road were arrested Tuesday and booked in the Bradley County Jail, according to a news release. The incident took place in a home that was not affected by recent storms.
Lindsay Orr, Randall Carter, Clellon Chandler, Eric Smith and Danny Edmonson all face charges of burglary and theft under $1,000.
A deputy from the Bradley County Sheriff’s Office spotted one of the male suspects walking away from the home and carrying a large box of items towards a nearby vehicle. After coming into contact with the suspect and another male in the vehicle, the deputy was able to determine that the items were potential stolen property, according to police.
Several other deputies later arrived at the home to find one female holding a baseball bat, along with two more male suspects hiding in separate closets. Items stolen from the home include silverware, jewelry, video game accessories, as well as various other objects, the release states.
