BURGLARY AT CHAPPELL HILL DOLLAR GENERAL UNDER INVESTIGATION

  

The Washington County Sheriff’s Office is searching for two suspects in a break-in early Tuesday morning at a business in Chappell Hill.

The sheriff’s office says it received a report of a burglary at the Dollar General store on Highway 290 East after an employee noticed sheet metal had been cut on the northeast side of the building.  Once inside, the employee found debris on the floor in the break room and a hole in the wall leading to the outside.

Officers reviewed video footage which shows two people entering the store just after 1:45 a.m.  According to the sheriff’s office, the suspects used a grinder to access the store’s safe, stealing $624.

No other items appear to have been taken from the store, but there was an extensive amount of damage caused in order to gain entry.

The sheriff’s office could not provide a description of either suspect at this time.

Anyone with information is asked to contact the Washington County dispatch non-emergency number at 979-277-7373.
