Over 20 guns stolen from pawn shop in Hinesville By Amanda Aguilar | February 11, 2021 at 6:51 PM EST - Updated February 11 at 7:35 PM
HINESVILLE, Ga. (WTOC) - The Hinesville Police Department is working with the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives to find stolen guns.
Investigators say the suspects took the guns from Mega Pawn in Hinesville during two separate crimes. ATF is offering a combined reward of $10,000 for the arrest and conviction of those responsible.
Police reports show that Mega Pawn was burglarized twice in the same week – Jan. 31 and Feb. 4.
Assistant Chief Tracey Howard says police responded to Mega Pawn a little after 9 a.m. for a burglary alarm. In the video, you see the suspect enter from the back of the building.
Wicked Local
Job dissatisfaction and frustration with local leadership topped police survey results revealed during the Newton Police Reform Task Force’s recent presentation to the City Council.
Before delving into recommendations for the future of the department, the task force and consulting firm Strategy Matters went over feedback from the survey, which was given to sworn and civilian employees.
Of the entire force (as of June 2020 there were 141 uniformed officers) and civilian employees, 44 responded to the survey. Of the 44, 26 identified themselves as officers and 10 as civilian staff (the rest had other departmental positions).
A majority (43.9 percent) said they were “dissatisfied” with the department as a place to work. Some reasons included a “Lack of support from the mayor, city council and community,” the facilities, and “Lack of confidence in NPD leadership and management.” These factors have undermined morale, according to the report.
