Cumming Pawn Shop Suspects Tied To Gun Range Robbery

CUMMING, GA — The six suspects in a New Year's Eve pawn shop robbery in Cumming have now been linked to the December robbery of a local gun club.

The same suspects, most of whom are accused of gang ties, have been charged with robbing Forsyth County Pawn Shop and the Bullseye Marksman Gun Club, also in Cumming.

According to the Forsyth County Sheriff's Office, during the December 31 investigation of the pawn shop robbery, two firearms located in the getaway vehicle had serial numbers matching ones stolen earlier from the gun club.

In both cases, robbers rammed a truck into the business that was being robbed, then entered through the hole created to rob the place.

Five adults and one 16-year-old juvenile were arrested after the New Year's Eve robbery of the pawn shop, at 211 Atlanta Rd.

An employee of the store who was staying there discovered what was happening and fired a single shot at the robbers. No one was injured during the encounter, police say.

The sheriff's office announced the connection between that crime and the gun club robbery on Tuesday. The suspects in the crimes are:

• Jajuanis Armstrong, 19, of Stone Mountain
• Jason Wheeler, 20, of Decatur
• Jordan Brown, 19, of Decatur
• Senuel Hawk, 23, of Decatur
• Rashad Jackson, 17, of Decatur
• A 16-year-old male juvenile from Decatur

In addition to robbery, burglary and firearm charges, all suspects but Brown are charged with violating the Georgia Gang Act.
