Sheriff says break-ins continue to be a problem

Chapman said Monday through Friday of each week two officers are assigned to the Banks Crossing area. The break-ins occur along the interstate from Atlanta to Greenville, Chapman said.

Chapman said a lot of things affect Banks County crime. The drug problem in Banks County is a continuous day in and day out problem, Chapman added.

Chapman said his office works closely with the Georgia Bureau of Investigations on major crimes that occur in Banks County.

“We do as well as any other agency our size in the State of Georgia with our resources,” Chapmen said.
