CARROLL COUNTY, Ga — The Carroll County Sheriff’s Office is asking for the public’s help in finding two men whom they say stole scratch-off lottery tickets in an early Wednesday morning heist.

Deputies say that at around 2 a.m., two men wearing masks forced their way into Smallwood’s Grocery on state Route 166, and stole lottery scratch-off tickets.

It’s unknown just how many tickets were stolen by these men.

After stealing the tickets, the men got into an unknown car and fled in the direction of Douglas County, deputies say.

Villa Rica and Douglas County had similar incidents a few weeks ago.

Anyone with information on these men are asked to contact investigator Tyler North at 770-830-5916 or by email at tnorth@carrollsheriff.com.
