According to information from Sheriff Tom Grills, he said his
deputies are working a large amount of burglaries. He said they
are being reported as daytime burglaries.
Sheriff Grills said the same items are taken at each burglary
and include: electroncis, guns, jewelry etc. I urge everyone
to be cognizant of their neighborhoods, watch for suspicious vehicles,
and persons, the sheriff told the Osgood Journal.
He went on to say, We are going to need the communitys
help in this as we dont have the manpower to be proactive.
The sheriff said he has asked for the council to approve additional
deputies, but so far they have not. Crime is not going away
by any means, he stated.
