Bulloch County Sheriff’s deputies arrested two people Thursday who they say admitted stealing copper from Portal area homes. A witness reported seeing a suspicious couple, and when sheriff’s deputies responded to the area near Old Dill and Rocky Ford roads, they found Lewis Jason Burke, 34, and Samantha Jean Wilkie, 43, both of Allenwood Drive, in the area, said Bulloch County Sheriff Lynn Anderson. Cpl. Mike Kearney met with Portal Police Chief Jason Sapp before searching the area, and they found Wilkie and Burke behind a rental house.
