The Lowndes County Sheriff’s Office arrested three people Monday — including two juveniles — in connection with two unrelated home burglaries.
Jeremy Marc Adams, 29, of 8061 Highway 12 E. No. 9, was charged Monday afternoon in connection with a home burglary on Woodlawn Drive.
A witness reported a man knocked on the homeowner’s door earlier in the day and asked for gas, which the homeowner supplied, Maj. Marc Miley of the Lowndes County Sheriff’s Office said. A few hours later, a witness saw the same man back a vehicle into the homeowner’s carport and load items into the trunk. After the man left, the witness went to the house and saw that the door had been kicked in.
Adams is charged with breaking and entering.
In a separate incident, sheriff’s deputies surrounded a home on Tabernacle Road on Monday night and arrested two juveniles in connection with a burglary on Highway 50 the previous day.
Investigators recovered guns, jewelry and other items. The investigation continues in that case.
