Police said Darius Magby, 19, and Calderon Dunson, 23, were seen in a parked car between two Malibu Drives houses about 10 a.m. Tuesday. They allegedly got out of the vehicle carrying two bags and items linked to committing a burglary.
Officers set up a perimeter around the area and saw the two coming out of the woods between Malibu Drive and South Chilton Crescent. They were allegedly found in possession of tools associated with burglaries and other thefts and were identified as the two seen leaving Malibu Drive.
An investigation led to the nine counts of burglary placed on the two. Magby and Dunson were also charged with possession of burglary tools, theft by receiving stolen property, possession of marijuana and loitering.
More charges could be filed as the investigation continues, police said.
