The officer saw an occupied white Toyota Camry that had its lights off near the burglarized home. He spoke with the driver, a 28-year-old Gwinnett woman, who was the only person in the vehicle.

A white pillowcase was standing up in the rear passenger seat, and it appeared to be full of items. Dispatch informed that the suspects had reportedly fled on foot into the woodline once they saw the officer, and they were possibly carrying pillowcases.
