ATLANTA -- Four evacuees from Hurricane Gustav are in jail in Atlanta Friday, charged with stealing high-priced blue jeans from two Buckhead stores.

Police said the suspects, three men and a woman, all from New Orleans, stole high priced jeans from the Luna boutique on Peachtree Road Thursday afternoon, walking into the store and grabbing all the jeans they could.

Officers in the Buckhead area were on the alert for a Pontiac G-6 spotted leaving the first scene.

A few minutes later, police saw the Pontiac outside the Brazil Fine Italian Menswear in the 1800 block of Peachtree Road, just three miles from the first scene. Officers said they arrested the suspects as they were loading jeans from the high-priced store into the car.

Police spokesman James Polite said the four, all between the ages of 19 and 20, will be charged with felony theft by taking. Police did not immediately release their identities.

He says the designer jeans, priced from $250 and up, were strewn throughout the car.
