Trio arrested in string of entering auto cases

CLEVELAND - Three suspects have been tied to a string of entering auto cases in North Georgia and across the country after their arrest last week in Cleveland.

Cleveland Police Chief John Foster said an officer made a traffic stop involving two of the suspects and found items connecting them with recent entering autos. A short time later, a third suspect was taken into custody in the Cleveland Wal-Mart parking lot.

Foster said 27-year-old Jonathan Matthew Hausner of Cleveland, 31-year-old Bobby Lenard Hausner of Gainesville and 35-year-old Sherry Leeanne Greene of Covington are all being held at the White County Detention Center. The suspects were all charged with theft by receiving stolen property, and the two brothers were also charged with identity fraud and financial transaction card fraud.

Foster said the three have been connected with other incidents as far away as Oklahoma.
