Women steal vehicle and possibly pawned items

A Hoschton man said two women who were at his house while he was sick took his vehicle, according to the Jackson County Sheriff’s Office.


The man, who lives on Jackson Trail Road, called the mother of one of the women and she said the vehicle was on the side of a road.

The man found the vehicle on Geiger Road, where he noticed that tools, a CD player and speakers were missing. The man told the women to return his items, but they had not returned them in a week. He was told one of the women may have pawned the items.
