Men in tactical gear impersonate officers, storm Gwinnett apartment, police say

A man and his son were zip-tied and robbed at gunpoint in December in their Gwinnett County apartment by three men dressed in tactical gear who claimed to be federal agents searching for drugs and cash, authorities said.

Nearly two months later, one suspect has been arrested and charged with impersonating an officer, among several other felony counts, Gwinnett police announced Wednesday. The two other suspects remain at large.

Luis Soto, 54, of Lawrenceville, was arrested last week on counts of home invasion and impersonating a public official, as well as two counts each of kidnapping, aggravated assault, false imprisonment and armed robbery. He was booked into the Gwinnett jail Jan. 25 and remains there without bond.

Soto and two others are accused of storming an apartment on Herrington Road near Lawrenceville on Dec. 6. The victim told police the suspects grabbed him as he returned home and forced their way inside, then zip-tied him and his son.
