A 17-year-old suspect from Oakwood has been arrested and charged with a series of entering auto thefts in the south end of Hall County.
Hall County Sheriff's Lt. Scott Ware said Charles Emmanuel Varner was arrested Tuesday at a residence on Sundial Avenue in Flowery Branch.
"From at least July 15 to July 22, 2016, Charles Varner unlawfully entered 10 different vehicles in numerous locations in South Hall County," Ware said.
He said the teen stole two firearms, a computer, wallets, jewelry, sunglasses, shoes and other items of value during the course of the break-ins. Investigators are still working to recover some of the stolen items, according to Ware.
Varner remains in the Hall County Jail at last report; he has been charged with 10 counts of entering auto and two counts of theft by receiving firearms.
Ware said a 16-year-old juvenile has also been charged in the case in juvenile court.
