An 18-year-old Chattanooga man is facing multiple charges after he allegedly burglarized a string of unlocked cars, stealing cash and a handgun.
Hunter Hanks was arrested Wednesday on the 4200 block of Bonny Oaks Drive after officers were notified of a suspicious man walking around in the area.
Officers found Hanks walking north. When they asked him to remove his hands from his pockets, an officer noticed a holstered firearm on his hip, according to arrest records.
The handgun was a Glock 43 that had been reported stolen out of a car on the 2300 block of Waterhaven Drive earlier that day. Five other car burglaries were also reported on the same street within a few blocks of each other.
Two of the victims reported nothing had been stolen, but said it seemed clear that someone had been through the vehicle looking for something. The other three victims said someone had rummaged through their belongings and stolen $20-$30 from each of them.
