A man being sought by Savannah-Chatham police in connection with burglaries was arrested Wednesday night.
Terah Kamel Jones, 25, was arrested by members of the U.S. Marshals Southeast Regional Fugitive Task Force and metro police at a Newel Street address in west Savannah.
Jones was wanted on charges connected to two local burglaries, said police spokesman Julian Miller. Miller said the man is also a suspect in at least nine similar burglaries in Savannah and in thefts in Richmond Hill and Pooler.
Jones was released from prison on parole in September after serving 15 months of a 60-month sentence for theft by receiving, theft by taking, receiving stolen goods and theft by receiving stolen property, Miller said.
Police earlier arrested four of alleged associates of Jones and seized two cars they said he was known to drive, Miller said.
Also arrested were Kimberly Pollard, 36, Mark Anthony Smalls Jr., 21, Tron Lamar Smith, 26, and Jahrell Lamar Ulmer, 20, on charges similar to those Jones is wanted on. The four, Miller said, are known associates of Jones.
