Thieves Target Unlocked Vehicles in Lumpkin

DAHLONEGA, Ga. — Thieves entered several vehicles at Porter Village, Holiday Inn, Holiday Inn Express and the River Knoll area in Lumpkin County during the early morning hours Monday made off with valuables, including guns and cash.

Lt. Chris Pfrogner of the Lumpkin County Sheriff’s Office says most of the items were stolen from unlocked vehicles. “We are recommending everyone lock their vehicles, as the thieves are primarily targeting unlocked vehicles. Additionally, it is best practice to ensure there are no valuables left in your vehicle or any type of personal information/identification,” he said.

Pfrogner says the thefts are likely connected to similar incidents that took place in Hall and Dawson counties recently.
