• Bradley County Sheriff’s Office is in charge of an investigation where a washer and dryer were taken from a Marina Drive apartment.

According to a report filed by deputy John Davis, landlord Bill Carroll had put the machines outside the apartment while cleanup was being performed inside.

Apparently, the washer and dryer set was outside several days; it was approximately 10 days before Carroll noticed the items were missing.

According to the report, the washer and dryer were valued at $200.

• Another landlord reported the theft of a lawnmower.

According to a report filed by deputy Joe Renner, Marshall Dilbeck had provided a riding mower so a renter could keep the grass cut at an apartment Dilbeck owned.

Dilbeck went to the residence this week and discovered the mower missing.

Dilbeck found out the mower had been taken to a salvage yard and sold for scrap.

The mower was valued at $350, according to the report.
