CENTRE — According to Cherokee County Sheriff Jeff Shaver, two suspects have been arrested on breaking and entering and theft charges. 

According to Shaver, his deputies have been receiving reports of vehicles being broken in to and personal property being stolen at Cherokee Rock Village for several weeks. 

On Oct. 25, Deputy Keith Morgan responded to Cherokee Rock Village due to the break-in of another vehicle.  Sheriff’s Office Investigator Seth Rochester assisted Deputy Morgan in collecting evidence. Investigator Rochester was eventually able to develop two suspects.  

On Oct 26, investigators located the two suspects at a residence in Sand Rock.  While at the residence, another report of a theft came in to the Sheriff’s Office. A description of items taken was given to investigators at the residence, and several items reported as stolen were found in plain sight in the yard.   

Investigators were able to obtain a confession from one of the suspects, and through that confession two other cases involving vehicle break-ins and theft cases at Cherokee Rock Village were solved. 

The two suspects were arrested. One of the suspects was a juvenile, who was transported to the Coosa Valley Youth Detention Center in Anniston and is awaiting a juvenile hearing.  The other suspect was Jacob Dewayne Roe, 18, Sand Rock.
