An open container of alcohol was the break the Statesboro Police Department needed to catch two men accused of a series of automobile break-ins. Corey Jake Conley, 18, was discovered early Sunday morning by Sergeant Tracy Atkinson of the Georgia Southern Department of Public Safety in the Eagle Village parking lot with an open container of alcohol. Sgt. Atkinson made contact with the defendant and found him to be in possession of several electronic devices, which were later found to be stolen from a vehicle at Southern Cove Apartments.
