ATHENS, Ga. — Athens-Clarke County Police are looking for a 21-year-old man who is tied to 23 burglaries, attempted burglaries and entering autos.

Bryson Hamilton is wanted for the crimes - many which occurred along the Hancock corridor. 

Through photo evidence, officers connected Hamilton to a series of incidents in late September and detectives began their investigation which is continuing.
