Authorities in Holmes County are investigating the burglar of a deer camp in the Bowling Green community.
Sheriff Willie March said burglars used a tractor to drive into the wall to gain to access to the building.
Once inside, they used the tractor to rip out a safe containing several firearms and some cash.
The suspects also took several other vehicles from the camp, such as a 4-wheeler and a side-by-side.
March said the tractor and most of the vehicles were recovered after being left on the side of a road, however one 4-wheeler is still missing.
The owner of the camp, who was out of town at the time of the burglary, did turn over security footage to the sheriff’s department.
March said the suspects all were wearing masks, but there were possibly other identifiers found in the footage.
No suspects have been arrested or charged at the time of this report.
Anyone with information can contact the Holmes County Sheriff’s Department at 662-834-1511.
