The Hall County Sheriff’s Office (HCSO) has a couple of cases of tool theft that are under investigation. One occurred at a house in the 5000 block of Old Orr Road and resulted in the loss of items worth $1,700.
In the second instance, the complainant had a traffic accident in the 5300 block of Clarks Bridge Road during which his toolbox came out of the back of his truck, according to HCSO spokeswoman B.J. Williams. “He told deputies he was unable to retrieve the toolbox because he had an injury to his hand, so he left the toolbox by a tree on the side of the road.” Williams added. “When he returned, the toolbox loaded with tools was gone. Estimated value of missing items is $3,000.”
