Crime Stoppers: Burglaries In Fort Oglethorpe

Wednesday, April 02, 2008

This week the Crime Stoppers feature is identifying subjects wanted in two business burglaries in Fort Oglethorpe.

On March 21, Fort Oglethorpe officers responded to a burglary at the North Georgia Home Health at 122 Battlefield Crossing and found the front glass door was shattered.

The suspects had entered the business and stolen five PC towers, three flat screen monitors, two laptop computers and one large flat screen monitor.

While officers were there they noticed the front glass door of the business next door at 132 Battlefield Parkway, Century 21, had also been shattered. After talking with the manger of Century 21, it was determined one flat screen monitor and two laptop computers had been stolen.

Both of the businesses sustained approximately $7,500 in damage.

The two burglaries are similar to a recent burglary at the Remco Business complex in Fort Oglethorpe, where the suspects were driving a white SUV, possibly a Ford Expedition or Ford Explorer.

To report any information on these burglaries or the suspects, call Crime Stoppers at 698-3333. The call is confidential and could result in up to $1,000 cash reward.

Thoughs On The Mathews Sentencing

It is not by coincidence I haven’t submitted an opinion piece in some time to the Chattanoogan.  The topics I cover are generally vitriolic in regards to local political decisions and their makers regarding public safety and I do not wish to associate my name with more noble subjects such as that of the heroic death and cowardly murder of Chattanooga Police Sergeant Tim Chapin, ...

Thank You, Judge Mattice And Chattanooga

I would like to thank Judge Mattice for handing down a 30.5 year sentence for Kathleen Mathews.  Obviously, no amount of jail time, fines, or lashings can bring back Tim Chapin.   A 30-year sentence will, however, make the world just a little safer.  That's what Sgt. Chapin would have wanted.  He was a protector and sacrificed his life so the rest of ... (click for more)
