Springfield,
Highway 21 North
Theft by taking

On Saturday, deputies were dispatched in reference to a theft report. Upon arrival deputies made contact with the complainant. According to him, sometime between Friday and Saturday someone came on the property where he stores his commercial equipment for his business, and removed 16 used but serviceable tractor truck tires and five tractor truck wheels from a shipping container where he houses spare tires and parts for his log trucks. There were tire tracks, which according to the complainant, did not belong to any vehicle that should have been on the property.

She said that a yellow gold wedding band that had belonged to her grandfather, her yellow gold wedding ring, and a diamond cluster ring, which is missing a diamond, were missing.

She stated that the man was arrested in Bulloch County last Friday for burglary and he is still in jail. She said she has not seen her rings since September or October, and she only takes them out to clean them and does not wear them. Several teenagers arrived at her house during the investigation.
