Burglary and theft reports were somewhat high over the long holiday weekend in Sevier County.  The county had 36 burglary and theft cases reported.
The majority of the burglaries and thefts were reported in Sevierville.  Out of the 36 total reports, 19 of those took place in Sevierville.
Gatlinburg only had two reports of burglary over the long holiday weekend, and both occurred at cabin rentals.
Pigeon Forge had four burglary and theft reports, with three of those taking place at cabin rentals.
Only seven cabin rental burglaries were reported in Sevier County, which is not necessarily high, according to Sevierville Public Information Officer Bob Stahlke.

The lowest occurrence of burglaries and thefts county-wide was on Thursday, Thanksgiving Day.
