A juvenile has been arrested in the Aug. 28 burglary of Suwannee Hardware in White Springs, according to a report from the White Springs Police Department. The suspect’s name was not released due to his age.
Merchandise and jewelry were reported stolen, say authorities.
This is the second time Suwannee Hardware has been burglarized in the last 60 days, according to White Springs Police Chief Ken Brookins.
“I want the town of White Springs to be a safe place to live and work,” said Stephanie Horne, owner of Suwannee Hardware. “Our police department is doing a great job with the limited resources they have. We (White Springs) have had at least 10 burglaries in the past 90 days. Our residents are coming together to discuss ways our citizens can help our community.”
Brookins said arrests have been made in all the recent cases, but that more charges are pending.
“Everybody talks about the state of the economy,” said Brookins when asked about the increase in criminal activity. “Most of us get a second job to get by. A criminal just gets more aggressive. We need more funding for more officers and more equipment to counter these incidents.”
According to reports, the break in occurred during the early morning hours.
