Gina Parks showed us how the burglars smashed her front glass window to bust into her business. Parks, who owns Gi Gi's Scrapbooking in Foley, says the crooks hit her business twice.

"I feel very violated," says Parks. "Just as if it were a break-in at my house. I feel very violated."

Parks' scrapbooking shop is just one of at least 23 businesses police say were burglarized by Cory Allmon and Kenneth Brink. The two men were arrested last week..accused of stealing more than 15-thousand dollars worth of cash, merchandise and property.

"I'm very excited to hear about that," says Parks. "A sigh of relief, actually, for me and my workers."

Police says Allmon and Brink are also responsible for thousands of dollars worth of property damage.

"If we don't catch you before you commit the crime or during the crime, we're definitely going to track you down," says Foley Asst. Police Chief Randy Bishop.

Investigators say the burglary ring was one of the largest organized criminal operations in South Baldwin County.
