ATLANTA — Police have issued warrants for four people who they say stole a deployed soldier’s credit card and spent $6,500 to upgrade their fraud ring’s burglary tools.

Investigators say the suspects broke into Master Sgt. Sylvia Simmons’ Stockbridge home while she was deployed to Afghanistan. Officials say they ransacked the home and stole furniture, clothes, jewelry and Simmons’ Lowe’s credit card.

Henry County Police issued warrants for 29-year-old Franklin Delano Cartledge III, 22-year-old Brandon David McElwaney, 30-year-old Kevin Lee Segars and 23-year-old Kelly Louise Flowers on Monday.

Cartledge is in jail on other charges but Police Capt. Jason Bolton said McElwaney, Segars and Flowers are at-large.

Police are also searching for a fifth suspect, who has not been publicly identified.
