Investigators with the Troup County Sheriff’s Office, Criminal Investigations Division, arrested three juveniles on June 2, 2025, in connection with a total of 35 “Entering Auto” cases. The three male juveniles, two aged 14 and one aged 15, face a combined total of 52 felony charges, ranging from Theft, Entering Auto, and Firearms charges.

The series of crimes occurred between March and June 1st at various locations throughout Troup County, and potentially other jurisdictions.
