The Douglas County Sheriff’s Office says a juvenile suspect is in custody following a string of vehicle break-ins reported over the past month.
Deputies responded to multiple incidents in the area around Dorsett Shoals Road and Mason Creek Road, where vehicles were targeted.
After an investigation, authorities identified and arrested a juvenile believed to be responsible for the break-ins. Investigators say they recovered several items reported stolen, along with clothing they believe was worn during the crimes.
The suspect is facing 39 felony charges and will be processed through the juvenile justice system, where the case will be handled in juvenile court.
The juvenile was not named by the sheriff’s office.
The sheriff’s office is urging residents to lock their vehicles, remove valuables, and report suspicious activity as the investigation continues.
