Two Thefts Are Reported

Deputies with the Jasper County Sheriff’s Office (JCSO) had a relatively light week in the past week, investigating only two reports of theft and making note of an IRS telephone scam.

A resident on Whitten Way reported the theft of a paint gun and accessories as well as a pair of tennis shoes. In an incident on Hwy. 212 west, a resident reported the theft of a chain saw. IRS phone scams continue to be a nuisance, with one resident reporting such a call this week.
