Three Identified and Charged in Gwinnett County Burglary Spree

Gwinnett County Police detectives have charged three suspects in connection with a residential burglary that occurred earlier this month. On May 3, the victim reported the burglary after returning home to find her residence had been unlawfully entered while she was away. The perpetrators, identified as Derrick Martin (38, Ellenwood), Marion King (24, Stockbridge), and Jhaniah Lanier (24, Lithonia), allegedly arrived at the victim’s house with a U-Haul truck and proceeded to steal various items including furniture, shoes, a PlayStation 5, and a 2008 Toyota Solara, which remains unrecovered.
