Officers from Roswell, Milton and Alpharetta searched for the suspects. A K9 was able to track their scent through the woods behind the home and all the way to the Ansley Golf Club, where police believe the suspects may have gotten into a car.

Investigators found a safe with guns and several expensive handbags near a fence in Hamilton’s backyard.

Hamilton told police his Ring camera system caught the burglary on camera. The video showed the suspects go into Hamilton’s home and leave just a few minutes before police arrived with the safe.
