hello

February 1, 2006 - Two downtown burglaries are currently under investigation in the relatively crime free area of Blairsville , Ga.

Blairsville Chief of Police, Johnny Carroll says, "I can't compromise the investigation by going public with descriptions of items that were taken and I can't tell you if the two events are related. I can fill you in on some of the information from the reports."

It was a surprise on Tuesday, Jan 17, 2006 around 6:30 PM when library patrons found alarms going off during a visit to the book-drop box. The police arrived next after being alerted by the security system. The report stated that the main door had been shattered with a brick.

Employees were shocked when they arrived at Blairsville Restaurant early Tuesday, Jan 24, around 3:30 AM to find the place had been burglarized. (Instead of making biscuits, they had to deal with a break-in.)

In both cases, police responded quickly to secure the scenes. If you saw anyone or know anything about these burglaries, Chief Carroll asks that you call the Blairsville Police Department.
