By MJ Kneiser, WLHR Radio, Lavonia

Banks County authorities are asking for the public’s help to locate the suspects responsible for a burglary at the Country Boys Sports store.

Banks County Sheriff’s Office Spokesperson Sgt. Carissa McFaddin said it happened during the early morning hours Friday.

McFaddin said that at about 4:15am last Friday, Banks County Sheriff’s Office deputies were dispatched to an alarm call at Country Boys Sports located on Caudell Road.

When deputies arrived, they found the business had been burglarized and it appeared that a number of guns were missing from the interior of the business.

McFaddin said that GBI Crime Scene Technicians and the ATF were called in to assist with processing the scene.

As of Monday, investigators continued to actively look into leads of the possible suspects.

Anyone who may have seen anyone or anything suspicious in the area early Friday morning is asked to contact Banks County Sheriff’s Investigator Spenser Ventrice at 706-677-2248.

You do not have to give your name.
