Canton Burglary Suspect Surrenders To Authorities

An Atlanta man wanted for a string of burglaries in the BridgeMill and Sixes area near Canton has turned himself in.

Savon Jones, 21, was booked into the Cherokee County Adult Detention Center on Friday, said Cherokee Sheriff’s Office spokesperson Lt. Jay Baker.

Jones has been charged with one count burglary in connection with the theft of the television taken from a home in the BridgeMill subdivision.

Detectives with the agency are investigating a total of six burglaries — four commercial and two residential — that occurred between Aug. 3 and Aug. 7. The commercial burglaries include a Subway restaurant and three convenience stores.

In those instances, a cement block or rock was thrown through the front glass doors while the businesses were closed and the cash registers were taken, Baker stated.

The two home burglaries occurred in the BridgeMill subdivision during the same time frame, and a 50-inch television was taken from one residence. Nothing was reported stolen in the other residential burglary, Baker added.

Baker said that while Jones is also a suspect in the commercial burglaries, he has not been charged at this time, as there are at least two suspects involved in the commercial burglaries.

If anyone has any information about these incidents they are urged to contact detectives at 770-928-0239. The incidents remain under investigation and more arrests are possible.
