A tip led sheriff's investigators to arrest a Signal Mountain man in connection with a number of car burglaries at Lakesite.
The anonymous tip came after the airing of surveillance video obtained from the Soddy Daisy Pawn shop.
The sheriff's office said numerous cars were burglarized in Lakesite on Oct. 23. The Hamilton County Sheriff’s Office criminal investigations division, along with the patrol division, had pursued numerous leads.
