 web posted September 27, 2007 COUNTY LINE – It seems a cooper thief has returned to Edgefield County with two six-ton air conditioner units found dismantled and all the copper tubing removed. The crime is believed to have occurred over the weekend but was not discovered until Monday. When the first Sheriff’s Deputy arrived he reported finding the two units “completely gutted out.” Two other units at the business were left undisturbed. The county suffered a string of similar thefts earlier this year that left almost a dozen churches with tens of thousands of dollars in damages in its wake. Sheriff’s Investigators do not believe the latest theft is related. During the earlier string of crimes the charge for copper thefts went from being considered misdemeanors to being labeled felony grand larceny due to the damage left behind during the theft. The recent theft occurred at a business on the 1200 block of Edgefield Road (Hyw. 25-south) near Stephens Road. A Sheriff’s Investigator arrived on the scene to process evidence and attempted to obtain fingerprints in addition to photographing the scene. Though this is the first similar crime since the January and February string, reports of window air conditioning units being stolen recently from homes in the area have been reported along with similar thefts in neighboring North Augusta. The Sheriff’s Office and North Augusta Public Safety have been working together concerning those thefts and a possible suspect in Edgefield County. For all
