Gun theft lands man in jail

The theft of guns from a home near the Country Junction Road landed a 31-year old man in the Oconee jail.  The sheriff’s office announces charges of grand larceny and first degree burglary against Cody Christian Dean Lecroy of the Rock Crusher Road.  Deputies investigated a home burglary last week on Big Brown Drive near West Union.  They found that a forced entry was made and that a handgun and two rifles were taken between Monday, August 8 and Wednesday, August 10.  An element of the crime alleged to have been committed by Lecroy is that the burglar was armed with a deadly weapon as he left the victim’s home.
