Teen Brothers Say Five Males Smashed PS2 and XBox 360 With a Hammer

Two Dacula brothers called police after five males allegedly came into their home and stole their property.

The brothers, ages 17 and 13, told police a male acquaintance arrived at their Wilkes Crest Drive home on Feb. 17 accompanied by four other males. The brothers allowed only the male they knew to enter the home, but according to the teen's account, the other males entered the residence without their permission.

The five males stayed at the house for approximately an hour before leaving. The brothers said one of the males left with three of their video games. The five males also allegedly took a PS2 and a XBox 360 gaming console out of the garage and started beating them with a hammer in the front yard.

"I observed the damaged gaming systems in the front yard and pieces of the systems in the yard and street when I arrived," the officer noted in the report.

The brothers advised they had not given any of the males permission to take the video games or permission to destroy the gaming systems with a hammer.

The case is listed as active.
