GAINESVILLE - Four people, all under the age of 18, face burglary charges after being arrested in Gainesville... the latest arrests in a string of burglaries plaguing homes on the city's northside.
Gainesville Police were called to Chestatee Road Thursday afternoon around 1:30pm about suspicious people in the area.
Lieutenant Carol Martin said they found three male suspects running behind a house.
"Officer got out and did a brief footchase and were able to apprehend the subjects," said Martin.
A fourth suspect was found near Longwood Park.
