Laundromat Is Burglarized, Vandalized

Someone visited the laundromat on West Washington Street in the wee hours of Tuesday morning, and proceeded to vandalize the machines, looking for money, damaging the washers and dryers, and making off with the Coke machine and a video game console, according to a report from the Jasper County Sheriff’s Office (JCSO). No arrests had been made as of Tuesday evening.
