Five Blue Jean Bandits charged in Dawsonville

The Dawsonville County Sheriff’s office named four men and one woman Thursday in a botched burglary attempt. The suspects, who range in age from 17 to 42, were arrested after a seven-hour manhunt along Ga. Highway 400 Tuesday afternoon.

The charges range from burglary to conspiracy to commit theft, possession of a firearm during the commission of a felony and giving false names to police.

Sheriff's Sgt. Tony Wooten says the same store was hit three weeks earlier in a similar burglary in which an estimated $20,000 of designed jeans were stolen.
