(ATLANTA BUSINESS CHRONICLE) -- Twelve metro Atlanta residents were arrested in Boise, Idaho, after attempting to buy high-dollar gift cards with “credit card numbers stolen in one of the major corporate security breaches,” according to police.

Detectives believe the suspects traveled to Boise from Georgia to commit the crime, then planned to sell the gift cards and pocket the cash.

Arrested are:

Jonathan Kennard Penn, 20, Suwanee

Charles Ontavious Moore, 25, Stone Mountain

GWINNETT COUNTY, Ga. -- At least three Gwinnett County women have fallen victim to a recent phone scam, and now police are hoping to pass along information that could help prevent future cases.

Four people have come forward, saying they received calls from someone claiming to be Lt. Pierson with the Gwinnett County Sheriff's Office Warrants Division.

The suspect told the victims they had outstanding warrants for failure to appear for a jury summons. They were asked to use pre-paid debit cards to pay the associated fines and avoid arrest. All four victims told police the caller sounded professional and was very convincing.

Three victims purchased Green Dot MoneyPak cards over the phone in the amounts of $525, $810 and $962. The fourth victim did not make a purchase.

SUWANEE, Ga. -- A SWAT team was called in to negotiate with a man barricaded in a room at a Gwinnett County extended stay hotel Thursday afternoon.

The suspect, 25-year-old Jeremy Gates, ran from police and locked himself in a room at the Sun Suites on Celebration Drive in Suwanee. Suwanee Police and Gwinnett County Sheriff's officers responded to the scene.

Shortly before 1:30 p.m., officers forced entry into the room and arrested Gates without incident.

Suwanee Police Capt. Cass Mooney said Gates was wanted on a parole warrant for weapon possession and escape.
