A man and woman were arrested Tuesday in connection with theft of metal last month at a local business. Statesboro police officers responded July 18 to Logan Hagan Welding Supply on North Zetterower Avenue in reference to metal crates being stolen, Statesboro Public Safety Director Wendell Turner said. As part of the investigation, officers "contacted local recycling centers about the theft with descriptions of the items and a possible vehicle description," he said.
