MOULTRIE — A Colquitt County man charged Tuesday with burglary is a suspect in as many as five thefts, a Colquitt County Sheriff’s Office spokesman said.

Ronnie Ledale Livingston, 39, 115 Garden Lane Apt. 2, is accused of entering a neighbor’s home and taking jewelry. He also is a suspect in thefts at residences on Georgia Highway 37 West and Bass Road.

Horacio Ladema, also of the 100 block of Garden Lane, reported Tuesday that his wife’s gold chain was stolen. On the same day Brittney Ennis, 2700 block Highway 37 West, reported that a Sony LCD television and a 27-inch flat-panel television were stolen.

Some of the stolen jewelry was recovered at local pawn shops and at Livingston’s residence, sheriff’s Investigator David Corona said. Livingston confessed to three of the burglaries, authorities said.

“A lot of it’s cosmetic jewelry,” Corona said. “We’ve recovered a lot of the jewelry, most of the jewelry from the (Highway) 37 one, Bass Road. He had pawned it. That’s how we could trace it to him.”
