The Dalton Police Department is asking for information from the public regarding the whereabouts of Jeremy Lorenzo Arteaga, 22. He is wanted in connection with a burglary and auto theft that happened on June 27. Arteaga’s last known address was 205 Windy Hill Drive in Rocky Face.
The incident happened on June 27 between noon and 1:45 p.m. The two victims in the case left their house at 604 Richardson Street to get lunch.
