Two suspects believed to be responsible for a string of burglaries in Coffee County that began late last year were arrested Friday after sheriff’s authorities executed a search warrant at a local residence and uncovered a mountain of stolen merchandise. As a result, deputies arrested Claudin Pubien Jr., 26, and Sierra Hodges, 25, both of Douglas, on a variety of charges.

These burglaries, which began around the Christmas season of 2016, generally occurred in the same manner with the offenders kicking in doors at random Coffee County homes and targeting items such as firearms, electronics, and jewelry. After a lengthy investigation, Coffee County sheriff’s detectives executed a search warrant at 316 E. Schley Street in Douglas last Friday, where they discovered an abundance of stolen merchandise. The investigation led to the arrests of Pubien and Hodges. Both were charged with multiple counts of  burglary. Pubien has also been charged with possession of a firearm by a convicted felon.

The investigation into Pubien and Hodges remains ongoing as detectives sort through the items confiscated as a result of their findings. Anyone with further information that could assist authorities in this matter is encouraged to contact the Coffee County Sheriff’s Office Criminal Investigation Division at (912) 384-4227.
