Forsyth County deputies arrest suspects after chase near Bald Ridge, Costco
A stop near Costco and GA-400 turned into a chase, then a manhunt ended with all three felony-warrant suspects in custody.
Forsyth County deputies turned a traffic stop near Costco on Bald Ridge Marina Road into a manhunt after a car carrying three people with felony warrants sped away near GA-400 in Cumming. The vehicle stopped during the chase, all three occupants ran, and deputies caught one suspect immediately before tracking down the final two.
The search pushed a heavy police presence into one of the county’s busiest corridors, where shoppers, commuters and nearby residents all cross paths around the retail center and the interstate ramp area. The scene unfolded Tuesday afternoon, July 1, 2025, and quickly changed the feel of the corridor from ordinary weekday traffic to a public-safety response. For drivers on Bald Ridge Marina Road and people trying to reach the Costco store, the manhunt brought cruisers, deputies and a visible law-enforcement presence to a stretch of Forsyth County that rarely offers much room for error.
The Forsyth County Sheriff's Office later thanked the public, saying, “Thank you Forsyth!!! You saw something and said something!! The final 2 are in custody!” That message reflected how the case came together after the flight from the stop, with residents helping deputies close the gap around the busy commercial area. The Georgia Bureau of Investigation said the men had felony warrants, and they also will face additional traffic charges for running from deputies.
The sheriff’s office says its Warrant Unit serves most criminal arrest warrants received through the county court system or by request from other jurisdictions, and its deputies are tasked with tracking down and apprehending fugitives. The agency describes that work as one of the most dangerous duties in law enforcement. With all three suspects now in custody, the immediate danger tied to the chase had passed, but the episode showed how fast a stop near GA-400 can spill into a larger public-safety problem for Cumming and the neighborhoods around it.
