CANTON, GA — If you are like many Cherokee County residents, finding the time to visit the local Tax Commissioner's Office to renew your vehicle's registration can be challenging. To help make this process more convenient, the Georgia Department of Revenue Motor Vehicle Division is expanding its self-service kiosks to two Kroger stores in the county.

These self-service kiosks are now located at Kroger at 6766 Hickory Flat Highway in Canton and 2295 Towne Lake Parkway in Woodstock. The kiosks provide you with the chance to renew vehicle tags on weekends, after hours or while you make a trip to the grocery store

"We are excited to partner with Intellectual Technology, Inc., and provide our customers with an additional convenience to enhance their shopping experiences," said Felix Turner, corporate affairs manager for Kroger's Atlanta Division. "With self-service kiosks placed in convenient locations, Georgia vehicle owners can now conduct vehicle registration business while picking up their groceries, with only minimal added trip time.

Customers using the kiosks can scan their Georgia's driver's license or enter their registration details to get started. The touch-screen prompts allows residents to complete the process in about two minutes, the state contends.

Georgia MVD self-service kiosks accept payment by credit or debit cards. Instructions and voice prompts in English or Spanish also make the kiosks as easy to use as an ATM.

Teens Stole Mail From Canton Mailboxes: Cops

CANTON, GA — The Canton Police Department has charged two teens with stealing from mailboxes in one of the city's largest subdivisions. Officers were dispatched around 10:40 a.m. Wednesday, Feb. 21 to a report of the thefts on Evening Rain Crest and Thundering Hills Ridge in the Great Sky community.

Officers began patrolling the area, interviewed several witnesses and found a 17-year-old male and a 16-year-old girl who matched the description of the subjects in the area, the agency said.

Another witness, according to the police department, found several pieces of mail behind his home and gave those items to police. Detectives were also dispatched to the scene, and interviewed witnesses and tried to talk to the pair accused of the crime.

Those investigators charged the 17-year-old, Teziyah Tyemiar Frederick of Canton, and the 16-year-old juvenile, also of Canton, with two counts each of misdemeanor theft by taking. Canton police say more charges of theft are pending "as we work to identify all victims in the investigation."
