Just before 5 a.m. on Nov. 13, Brookhaven officers were called to Avana Uptown apartments on Clairmont Road after reports of people looking into car windows in the parking garage.
As officers arrived, two cars inside the parking garage tried to drive away. However, one was immediately blocked and the other car was swarmed by police, according to authorities.

Authorities also said the gray Infiniti was being stolen when stopped by police. A second vehicle was stolen from a neighboring apartment complex earlier in the night by the same crew in the white Cadillac, according to investigators.
