The arrests of two people this week have cleared a number of burglaries that occurred June 28 in the Hixson area, according to a news release.
The Hamilton County Sheriff’s Office said this morning that Ashlee Wade, 21, and Joshua Whitaker, 26, were arrested Wednesday on charges of theft, fraudulent use of a credit card and making false reports.
Sheriff’s office spokeswoman Janice Atkinson said items stolen in the burglaries were recovered at area pawnshops and other locations. She gave no further details except to say that more charges are possible.
