A man caught “rattling doors” on Dartmouth Street early Tuesday morning is charged with robbing a North Chattanooga home last week.
Ricky L. Davis, 24, was charged in the robbery at 304 Tremont St. after he was caught Tuesday on Dartmouth Street, Chattanooga Police Department spokeswoman Sgt. Jerri Weary said.
Sgt. Weary said the “methods of operation” involved in several other recent crimes in North Chattanooga were “pretty much the same” as those in the Tremont robbery.
She said questions on the number and types of recent crimes committed in the area would have to be directed to the investigator on the cases. That investigator, Tim Tomisek, was unavailable Tuesday because he had worked a long shift “dealing with Mr. Davis,” Sgt. Weary said.
Police obtained a search warrant for Mr. Davis’ Fifth Avenue home and found several items that had been stolen in the Tremont Street break-in, police said.
