We granted Raul Prado and Blanca Cruz-Prado’s “the Prados” application for interlocutory review of the trial court’s order denying their motions to suppress. As there is evidence to support the trial court’s findings of fact and the court did not commit an error of law, we affirm. Due to the complexity of the facts, we begin with a brief synopsis of the evidence adduced at the suppression hearing. Interstate police cooperation led Gwinnett County police to conduct surveillance of 2851 Creekwood Drive in Snellville, a suspected marijuana “grow house.” Certain observations during surveillance on March 1, 2007, caused officers to apply for a search warrant. While awaiting the warrant, police observed a Dodge Ram pickup truck towing a large recreational trailer emerge from the back yard, followed by a white Chevrolet Tahoe. Officers stopped the vehicles. Alfredo Hernandez was driving the Ram, Raul Prado was driving the Tahoe, and Blanca Cruz-Prado was his passenger.

After the officers stopped the vehicles, they observed two men walk around from the back of the house, enter the garage, close the door, and then flee into the woods. Officers chased and arrested the men; one was barefoot and the other was carrying large amounts of cash. They were later identified as Carlos Luis Perez and his father, Carlos Perez Martinez.
