Six people have been arrested following a home invasion in Alpharetta. And police say residents of the neighborhood deserve a lot of the credit in tracking them down.

Two of the suspects were nabbed immediately after neighbors saw them kick in the back door of a home on Broadwell Oaks Drive. One neighbor recorded the suspect's car on his cell phone while another neighbor wrote down the tag number. Danny Pierce tells Channel 2 Action News they look out for one another in their neighborhood.

"I think it proves you don't want to mess with our neighborhood, you know. We're a tight neighborhood and we stick together," said Pierce.

A 10-year-old and 17-year-old were at home at the time of the break-in. They ran upstairs, hid and called 911.

Danny Mosquera of Texas, and Eric Glen Bierd-Rivera of Louisiana were arrested at the scene. A short time later, a third suspect, Omar Rodriquez of South Carolina, was taken into custody.

Three more people were arrested in Gwinnett County, two of them while driving a second suspected car.

Gwinnett County Police Officer Brian Kelly tells WSB the vehicle was spotted in Gwinnett and two men were arrested. When police went to the apartment linked to the vehicle, they executed a search warrant and discovered more than ten pounds of marijuana.

Joselyn Rodriguez and Lucy Cabral have been charged with one count of possession of marijuana with intent to distribute.

Kelly says they're still working on how this is all linked. More charges and arrests are possible.
