CHEROKEE COUNTY, GA (CBS ATLANTA) -

Cherokee sheriff's detectives arrested four people in connection to a home invasion on Rampley Trail near Waleska.

Kenneth Piper, 26, Heather Fernandez, 27, Willie Collins, 26, and Mason Thompson, 27, have all been charged with armed robbery and financial transaction fraud.

The group was arrested after they allegedly used the home owner's debit card at the Canton Walmart.

Cherokee detectives released video of the suspects leaving the Walmart.

Detectives began to receive tips on their Facebook page about the identities of the suspects.

Investigators were able to determine that two of the suspects lived at an apartment complex in Canton.

When investigators arrived at the apartment, all four suspects from the video were there.

Officers arrested the suspects when they served a warrant at the apartment.

Inside the apartment they found the homeowner's purse, a 9 mm handgun and three red bandanas used in the robbery, according to police.

Investigators said they found receipts where the suspects had used the victim's debit card.

Investigators are still attempting to determine why the suspects chose to rob the home on Rampley Trail.
