On Sunday evening, deputies responded to a home invasion on Holden Drive in Augusta. Two women, ages 72 and 49, say they heard a knock at the door and two men entered the home. The suspects then demanded money.
When a 53-year-old neighbor came to visit the women and happened upon the crime in progress, all three were bound and the robbers fled with an undetermined amount of cash and personal effects.
Cooper should be considered armed and dangerous. Know where he is? Please call Sgt. Paul Godden at 706-821-1020 or 821-1080.

Several people have been arrested throughout the week on various robbery charges and some media personnel have questioned if the cases were related and requested various reports. Due to the diligence and hard work of our investigators, patrol deputies and assistance from the media in putting out descriptions and various wanted posters we can now put the following together;
