Three charged in robbery of Friendly Pawn Shop in Saucier

Three suspects were arrested Friday and charged in the burglary of a Saucier business.

Harrison County Sheriff Matt Haley said 18-year-old Aalayah Fortenberry, 18-year-old Curtis Dickey Jr., and 21-year-old Archie Lockett are charged with commercial burglary. They were taken to the Harrison County jail and bond was set at $25,000 for Lockett and Forteberry and $40,000 for Dickey.

Haley said deputies were called to the business on Thursday after a burglary alarm activated.

Deputies and investigators learned that three suspects broke a front glass door and took several firearms from the business. Investigators were able to get a description of the vehicle used from surveillance video at the business.

Later that day, deputies stopped the vehicle on Highway 49 near Highway 53 in Gulfport and identified the suspects.

A search of the vehicle produced several of the firearms taken in the burglary.
