Kent’s Corner site of armed robbery Friday night


web posted July 19, 2008
EDGEFIELD – Edgefield’s Kent’s Corner was the scene of a daring armed robbery just after 10 pm Friday night when two masked men entered the store and produced a handgun demanding money and was given an undisclosed amount of cash before the two fled the store on foot.

A witness saw a burgundy, regular cab, 1998 or 1999 Ford F150 pickup truck that was parked behind a nearby business. Investigators found fresh tire tracks behind the business and the bloodhound team tracked the two suspects to the same location before losing the trail.

The suspects are described as black males, both wearing all black and masks, one being around 5’ 10” and the other around 5’ 7” tall and both weighing approximately 180 pounds. Only one of the two men produced a gun according to early information available. The gun was said to be a black semi-automatic of an unknown caliber.

Deputies and local police from Edgefield and Johnston patrolled the surrounding area covering all possible escape routes including two Mile Road, Highway 23, Star Road, Edgefield Road, and Woodyard Road but did not spot a vehicle matching the description given.

All surrounding counties were advised to be on the look out for the burgundy Ford truck as the investigation continues. The crime scene was still being processed at press time and no further information was available. Investigators were able to gather evidence at the crime scene that could help identify the suspects.

Anyone that may have been in the area and saw a burgundy or red Ford F150 is asked to call the Edgefield County Sheriff's Office at 637-5337 with information. You can remain anonymous.

We will continue to follow this breaking story as more information become available.
