Arrests Are Made

Officers with the Jasper County Sheriff’s Office investigated several burglaries in the last week, as well as a couple attempted burglaries.

Someone attempted to break into the A-1 Food Store on Forsyth Street, but was thwarted in the effort when the alarm sounded. The evidence was found the next day. A citizen from Bullard Road also went to the sheriff’s office to report an attempted theft, but no details were available from the incident report.

A horse saddle was taken from an address on Concord Road, and a backhoe was taken from a Covington address in Jasper County. In addition, a resident in Turtle Cove reported the theft of some pills and a CD.

Investigators are looking into a fraud/financial I.D. case for a resident on Sugar Hill Road, and a stolen vehicle report that was labeled theft by deception on Smith Mill Road.
