OC Sheriff’s Office investigating Crimes in Ebenezer Community

The Oconee County Sheriff’s Office is investigating a string of crimes in the Ebenezer Community. In the last two weeks, there have been burglaries and other incidents. Investigators believe as many as two people are responsible, one of whom is a white male who wore a ball cap and rode in a white S-10 pickup truck. Among the crimes were home and church burglaries on Mountain Springs Road and a home burglary on nearby Wolfstake Church Road. In the home burglary on Mountain Springs, the homeowner saw and heard someone try to break through his door and then run to the white truck. It’s believed the truck is the same one in an incident on Country Junction Road when a man knocked on a door and claimed he was there to make home repairs, but no one in that home ordered such work, and the Oconee County Sheriff’s Office believes the man was attempting to case the home out for a burglary.
