EFFINGHAM — The Effingham Police Department arrested a local man July 21 in connection with multiple burglaries and vehicle break-ins that occurred during early morning hours.
Police responded to reports of break-ins in the area of Green Mountain Road and Highwatch Road.
During the investigation, officers obtained home security footage from a resident on Route 25 who was also a victim of burglary.
