FAYETTE COUNTY, GA -- Two people who allegedly posed as Georgia cops and handcuffed victims during a home invasion soon found themselves in cuffs.

The two men, part of a crew of four, were arrested in Fayette County in connection with a home invasion there Friday, reported the Atlanta Journal-Constitution.

The four got away with several items, but the victims were able to give Sheriff's deputies a description of the getaway car.

Deputies later spotted a car and detained the two occupants, who were later identified by the victims. Police say the car contained items that the victims had reported stolen.
