Larcenies continue to increase


web posted September 3, 2009
COUNTY – Just one week after Edgefield County Sheriff Adell Dobey put out a call for citizens to be aware of the increase in thefts from property, the totals on the amount stolen and the number of cases continues to increase. Being aware of your property and strange vehicles or activity at neighboring property is the fastest way to bring the thefts to an end. In the last few days over $4,000 worth of property has been damaged or stolen.

On Tuesday a home on Ann Street in the Merriwether area reported $975 of yard equipment missing upon returning home. According to incident reports, a Craftsmen mower, edger, blower, assorted yard tools, and nine extension cords were missing.

Earlier in the day an Edwards Drive homeowner returned home after being gone for less than two hours to find a window to the house broken out, the back door damaged after someone attempted to pry it open, and a Nintendo Wii game console and controllers taken. Total damage and loss was listed at $850.

Saturday a Riverpointe Drive man reported returning to the property to find a Troybuilt lawn tractor had been taken from a shed in the back of the home. The tractor was valued at $2,500.

All three cases, in addition to other cases reported in the last week, are being investigated.

Sheriff Dobey has asked that citizens pay special attention to suspicious activity, vehicles, and persons in your community and to call 911 or dispatch office numbers at 803-637-5337 or 803-278-1625. You can remain anonymous while giving information.
