ATL man charged in 2 Calhoun robberies
Police say the man is also suspected in other robberies around the state.
A suspect wanted by the Calhoun Police Department in connection with a pair of local burglaries of businesses has been arrested, according to reports.
According to Calhoun Police Department reports:
Aron Jermaine Major, 47, of Atlanta, has been charged with two counts of burglary and two counts of possession of tools for the commission of a crime.
The charges are in connection with the Sept. 2, 2020 burglary of World of Wings, 171 W. Belmont Drive, and the April 6 burglary of Ginger’s Grocery, 1600 Dews Pond Road.
Major is also a suspect in a string of other burglaries throughout the state of Georgia, according to authorities, and has been charged with more than 25 crimes related to a string of burglaries in Cobb County and other jurisdictions.

Cobb Police Sgt. Wayne Delk said his agency will be meeting with at least 15 other law enforcement agencies next week, as police believe Major is responsible for a host of burglaries across metro Atlanta. Delk added that a federal agency may be involved but declined to say which agency.
In warrants, police accuse Major of targeting offices within the businesses, raiding safes, cash registers and money drawers. An ATM and a claw game were pried open at one business. The amount of
