Missing something from your carport?

• On April 3, DCSO arrested John Barry Wilson for multiple incidents of theft occurring from carports of houses in the N. Burnt Hickory, Newman Ellis and Big B Rd. areas. He was generally stealing tools and lawn equipment that had been stored on the carports. The majority of the property has been placed but there are instances where homeowners may not be aware that their property is missing and therefore may not have reported a theft. If you should check your carport and find missing equipment, please contact Inv. Dale Kelley at 770-920-4903. You will need to provide a description of the missing equipment and serial numbers if available.
