After its chief passionately vowed to solve a disturbing crime spree six months ago, the Atlanta Police Department has arrested three men in connection with armed robberies near the Georgia Tech campus in Midtown and in Buckhead.
Gemontaz Holley, 20, Sinquai Callaway, 21, and Donell “Marquez” Frison, 20, are accused of four robberies in late January and early February.
Holley was already in custody in Washington County, police said Friday. Callaway and Frison were arrested by APD’s fugitive unit and are in the Fulton County Jail.
They are each charged with armed robbery, aggravated assault, possession of a firearm by a convicted felon and possession of a firearm during the commission of a felony.
Police said the trio robbed people at gunpoint, taking laptops, smartphones, cash and credit cards. The crimes occurred on Martina Drive, Tumlin Street, State Street and Snyder Street.
