Bradley County Burglaries Drop
Sept 2013- August 2014: 388 burglaries
Sept 2014- August 2015: 265 burglaries
The sheriff says October of 2014 was the month that turned the tide.
He says officers stopped a vehicle with stolen items inside then, which led to investigations into the passengers.
By the end of the month, they had solved 47% of their burglaries.
Sheriff Watson credits cooperation between his Patrol and Criminal Investigations Divisions.
“Each man and woman who makes up Patrol and CID with the Bradley County Sheriff’s Office are eager to assist one another in any sort of investigation at any time,” he said, “that clearly has shown by the very noticeable drop in the number of burglaries in just one year’s time. A decrease of 123 burglaries means 123 fewer families, businesses, schools and churches have suffered a loss of goods they bought and paid for.”
