*UPDATE: We have reason to believe that the suspects have received a ride out of the area and are thought to be in the Chattanooga area.
However, we encourage citizens to still be on the lookout and if you see or hear something suspicious, do not hesitate to call the non-emergency number at (865) 458-9081 or 911.
