2 thieves accused of stealing 2 sports cars arrested within minutes in Forsyth County

FORSYTH COUNTY, Ga. — Police in Forsyth County said it only took a little over 20 minutes to catch two men who stole two sports cars.

Deputies said the men showed up at a car dealership on Georgia 400 asking to test-drive a Dodge Charger and then took off without the salesperson inside.

The Forsyth County Sheriff’s Office released body camera video showing a deputy in the area responding after one man took off in the stolen Charger, while the other man fled in a red Chevrolet Camaro that he had taken to the dealership.

A deputy quickly stopped the driver in the Camaro and arrested him. Investigators said they learned that car had been stolen out of DeKalb County.
