On Wednesday afternoon, the Sheriff's Department Swat team executed a search warrant in the 1100 block of Broughton Street in search of a stolen SKS semi-automatic rifle.
Sheriff's Investigator Chip Nix made an arrest in the Monday Brinson-Colquitt Highway burglary where 4 firearms were stolen. 30 year old Elex Miller Worlds of Lake Drive, Bainbridge was arrested and charged with burglary. 2 of the stolen firearms were recovered from Mr Worlds.
Investigator Nix developed information on the location of the Norinco SKS semi-automatic rifle with a 30 round magazine. With the dangerous nature of the gun and knowledge of the felon at that residence, the swat team went in. A search of the home did not find the weapon.
Investigator Chip Nix is following up other leads on the SKS semi-automatic rifle.
