By Greg Rickabaugh

Richmond County authorities are asking for help in identifying a man wanted for questioning in a break-in at the office of Hillcrest Memorial Gardens.

An alarm was activated around 3:30 p.m. Saturday when someone broke the rear window to the office and stole an HP printer and a Mini iPad from the manager’s office.

A neighbor told a cemetery manager that a vehicle was in the parking lot of the cemetery on Deans Bridge Road before the burglary.

Any information regarding the pictured subject, please notify Deputy Thomas Langford in the Criminal Investigation Division of the Richmond County Sheriff’s Office at (706) 821-1038, or any on duty investigator at (706) 821-1020 or (706) 821-1080.
