Man breaks into pregnant Gwinnett woman’s home, arrested after leaving behind cell phone
GWINNETT COUNTY, Ga. — A man accused of startling women by breaking into multiple homes at night in Gwinnett County is under arrest and his victims are relieved a clue left behind helped police find him in another county.
“I thought I was going to die,” said one victim, who is nine months pregnant and asked to remain anonymous. “When I heard him, I locked the door and I slid the nightstand in front of the door and hid in the closet.”
She is one of the victims of a burglary spree linked to one suspect who allegedly broke into four homes in less than two weeks from March to April.

“I was like, ‘Oh God, he’s about to try to come in here,’” she said.
