Peachtree City police are charging a College Park man, arrested Christmas weekend in a Fayette County burglary, with the same charge in a break-in at McDonald's on Crosstown Drive earlier that week, says police chief James Murray.

Zeus Britton, 25, will be charged with the McDonald's burglary "based on physical evidence found at the scene, plus the similarities" in the methods of entry, Murray added. Britton may also be questioned in connection with a burglary at the Pit Stop on Ga. Highway 54 last spring, he said.

"There are six or seven instances of burglary in December," Murray said, "where all the Fayette law enforcement agencies have conferred and we feel like we are dealing with the career-criminal types. The perpetrators seem to be experts on alarms and ways of getting into a business that cannot be easily noticed. We don't usually see this type of criminal in Fayette, but we want the citizens to know that this is happening. It's time for our businesses to take a look at their security systems, to maybe be willing to invest in the kind of alarms that will automatically summon police if the wires are cut."
