During the month of December, the Douglas County Sheriff’s Office responded to approximately seven commercial burglary calls that occurred in the west side of Douglas County. Five of the calls were being investigated among the seven that occurred at The Farmer’s Table (twice); Farm Fresh (three times); Dollar General and Country Corner. The suspects stole approximately $3,000 cash and an undisclosed amount of goods from the businesses.

The Douglas County Sheriff’s Office received a tip about a juvenile runaway who was questioned and confessed to the break-ins. After further investigation, two juveniles were identified and taken into custody.
