The Chattooga County Sheriff’s Office is investigating the theft of radio equipment belonging to the Lyerly Fire Department that was in the possession of a volunteer firefighter.  According to a report from the sheriff’s office, the radio was stolen from a home on Smith Street in Summerville.  The volunteer firefighter told a responding deputy that someone had crawled under the house and up through a bathroom floor that was being renovated and stolen the radio.  The sheriff’s department followed several leads with suspects, but was unable to locate the stolen fire department dispatch radio.  The equipment is valued at $1800, according to the fire chief with the Lyerly Fire Department.  The theft was reported last week, according to a report released by the sheriff’s department that was released on Tuesday.
