Hart Co. Investigates Storage Facility Burglaries

Hart County investigators are looking into two burglaries that targeted storage units.

Both happened sometime last weekend, according to Hart County Sheriff’s office incident reports at the Herring Mini Storage on Beacon Light Road in Hartwell.

In the first, the victim told deputies someone broke off the lock on their storage unit and made off with a host of items, including antiques, tools, garden and sports equipment.

Deputies reported the inside of the unit had been ransacked.  Over $3,000 in property had been taken.

In the second unit, burglars made off with over $4,000 in furniture and household items.  At that unit, deputies discovered a metal tool box that did not belong to the victims.   The tool box was taken into evidence for fingerprints.

So far, there have been no arrests in either case.  Anyone with information on either case is asked to contact the Hart County Sheriff’s office at 706-376-3114.  You do not have to give your name.
