Ball Game Is Site of Three Thefts

Deputies with the Jasper County Sheriff’s office are investigating several reports of entering auto after the Hurricanes ball game last Friday night at Rose Bowl Field. Apparently, at least three cars were broken into. in the area of Thomas Persons Hall. Designer purses containing all that purses contain were taken in two of the cases.

Deputies are also looking into a case of ID fraud where driver’s license information was obtained from a local person and used to create another driver’s license with an Atlanta address.
