An Evans County resident posted on Facebook Tuesday saying he returned home from work to find his door kicked in and his home ransacked.

Bulloch County Sheriff Noel Brown held a press conference earlier in July to discuss a string of burglaries in the county, many of which seem to occur two at a time. In all instances, the doors were kicked in when homeowners are not home. The items of choice seem to consistently be guns and jewelry. You can read more about that here.
