A previously-reported high speed chase in Fulton County led to the arrest of two Florida residents accused of multiple thefts, and information has been released on one of the suspects. According to arrest affidavits, 27-year-old Thomas Hankerson and 21-year-old Cedric Camper have each been charged with 18 felony counts of theft by receiving a credit card, 27 counts of theft by receiving a debit cart and a misdemeanor count of theft by receiving.
The chase was initiated last Tuesday on U.S. Highway 62/412 eastbound toward Salem and ended when the vehicle with a Georgia license plate belonging to a rental company was blocked by Fulton County deputies. Hankerson, Camper and another occupant were taken into custody, and a stolen Arkansas license plate was located in the vehicle. The next day, a citizen turned over several identifications, checks and debit and credit cards to the Salem Police Department after finding them on the road where the pursuit occurred.
The Salem Police Department executed a search warrant on the vehicle and located a black trash bag containing a Social Security card. Several other IDs, credit and debit cards, Social Security cards and a checkbook were located in the glove box, and several wigs and sets of clothing were found in the trunk.
Hankerson also faces charges of fleeing, reckless driving, no proof of liability insurance, no seatbelt, driving left of center and possession of marijuana. Bond for Hankerson and Camper is set at $100,000 each.
