Newspaper Page TextPAGE 6A BARROW JOURNAL WEDNESDAY, MARCH 23, 2016 Public Safety Reporting on local fires, wrecks and arrests BAKROW coun NEW AMBULANCES NOW IN USE BCES receives two new ambulances Barrow County Emergency Services Chief John Skinner presented two new ambulances to the Board of Commission ers earlier this month. “The ambulances were delivered to the department on Feb. 9 and went into service on Feb. 15,” said Chief Skinner. “They replace two older ambulances and help to keep our fleet with modern and more dependable ambulances. In 2015 this department ran more than 6,900 med ical calls to assist our citizens. Having quality dependable ambulances for these calls is critical.” The ambulances were purchased through Ten-8 Fire Equipment in Forsyth Georgia at a cost of $202,584 each. They are mounted on 2016 Dodge Ram 4500 and are manufactured by Braun Industries. Braun has been manufacturing custom made ambulances for 42 years, with their state of the art manufacturing plant located in Ohio. They are considered to be the best ambulance manufacturer in America, BCES officials said. The new ambulances will operate out of the fire stations located in Bethlehem and Auburn. They were purchased as part of the capital improvement funding in this fiscal year's budget. “ We want to thank the Board of Com missioners for approving this purchase,” said Chief Skinner. “The two ambulances are second to none in quality and the modern features will assist us in deliv ering quality customer service to our citizens.” Trio charged with attempted theft of wheels from local car dealership On Friday March 11, at approximately 3:20 a.m.. the City of Winder Police Department responded to an alarm at the Akins Ford Dealership. Upon arrival, officers checked the perimeter of the building and property and located a pickup truck on Polite Road that was still warm to the touch. There was no one around and no one immediately located on the dealership’s property. The vehicle information revealed that the truck was registered to someone from South Carolina. A WPD officer remained in the area for the next two hours until someone was observed walking in the location of the truck. Officers encountered a man named Larry Owens on Polite Road. Owens stated he was walking to a nearby store, but told police he did not know his address as he had just moved to Winder from South Carolina. Owens could not pro vide clear details about his purpose for being in the area and was ultimately placed under arrest for loi tering and prowling. When asked if he was familiar with the truck, Owens claimed he did not know anything about it. It was later determined that Owens’ address in South Carolina was the same address the truck was registered to. A search warrant was obtained for the truck as well as for cell phones that were located in the truck. Information obtained from the cell phones led police to charge Owens OWENS and tw0 other accomplices with crimi nal trespass and criminal attempt to commit theft by taking. Police suspect that all three were attempting to steal wheels and tires from the dealership. Larry Owens, 20, and Heather Smith, 25, of Winder were also arrested for the above offenses and taken to the Barrow Coun ty Detention Center. Justin Whiteside, 26, of South Carolina is also being charged with the above offenses but is still at large at this time. WPD officials said.
