On Sunday, July 20th, a burglary brought Chattooga County officers to a home on Highway 157. 

The homeowners said that when they returned home, they found the gate on their back porch open. They noticed damage on the back door, but it was still locked. Once they were inside, the couple saw that their bedroom door was open. They immediately looked around to see what would be missing.

They discovered that their lock box was missing, which contained jewelry and a .22 caliber pistol. They valued the items around $2150.

The case is still under investigation.
