Last week Chattooga County Sheriff Deputies responded to a call of theft by way of not making payments at a local business.

On February 24th Deputies met with Lorraine Roberts,  who is a employee at The Furniture Shoppe at 10118 Commerce St in reference to someone not making payments on items. Mrs. Roberts advised that on October 2nd, 2020,  a woman bought a Serta firm twin mattress valued at $179, a Serta twin box spring valued at $90, and a Frigidaire chest freezer valued at $440.
Roberts stated that other than the down payments of $50 on October 2nd, 2020 the woman has not made any more payments toward the items.  Roberts said that woman had sold the freezer to some neighbors on Bearden Hill, and that the woman told the neighbors it was paid off and sold it for $300.
After speaking with Mrs. Roberts it was determined that she was already advised by other Deputies of magistrate procedures in regards to this incident. This case is still active.
