Fulton County District Attorney, Fani Willis, has indicted more than two dozen purported gang members in connection with a string of celebrity home invasions.
In a recent report by Fox 5 Atlanta, Willis told those in gangs to get out of Fulton County.
"I will not negotiate with gang members," Willis said in a Monday afternoon press conference. "We're going to find you and send you to prison and I'm not apologizing for that."
According to the report, authorities claimed the gang members select items to steal by scouring the social media accounts of high-profile residents, prompting Willis to lecture individuals about refraining from posting flashy items on their pages which could ultimately make them a target.
Willis said one of the victims was singer Mariah Carey. While Carey was not home at the time of the robbery, some victims have been and at least some of those encounters have turned violent.
There are currently 26 suspected gang members indicted for the invasions, with 18 in custody, Fox 5 reported. According to the indictment, which is more than 200 pages, the incidents started in 2018 involving suspected Drug Rich gang members.
