Man charged with string of commercial burglaries, Gwinnett police say

GWINNETT COUNTY, Ga. — A Gwinnett County man has been charged in connection to a string of commercial burglaries that occurred over the last year.

On Wednesday, Gwinnett County Police charged 26-year-old De’Vondre Antonio Walker in connection to 17 burglaries.

Police said that crews involved in these burglaries would use stolen cars and stolen license plates which made them difficult to track down.

A collaborative effort led police to find information leading to the identification of a Dodge Charger as the main suspect vehicle, which police said was being stashed under a tarp in an Atlanta apartment complex.
