  Johnston Police arrest three for August armed robbery web posted September 29, 2008 Below: Alvin (L) and Bryan Phillips (R)   JOHNSTON
– Three men have been arrested
and will be facing charges for the armed robbery of the Johnston Hong
Kong Chinese Restaurant owner and his family on August 14 at the
family
home. Johnston Police Chief Chris Aston said Monday evening that his
Department, with the help of the Edgefield Police, the Sheriff’s Office
Investigative Division, and SLED, “got a break in the case that lead to
us solving the crime.” Chief Aston said they began following leads early in the case and the joint effort of all agencies paid off. “I have nothing but praise for the Sheriff’s Office and Edgefield (Police) for their hard work,” Chief Aston said adding accolades for those in his department as well for their efforts. Arrested Monday afternoon was Alvin Phillips, 17, and his cousin Bryan Jordon Phillips, 19. They are being held at the Edgefield County Detention Center on a single charge or armed robbery. A third suspect, K. C. Langford, age unknown, is currently incarcerated in Aiken County on unrelated charges and a “hold” has been placed on him to be returned to Edgefield County to face an armed robbery charge here as well. Additional charges may be pending in the case that could include the possession of a weapon during the commission of a violent crime. Chief Aston said tips from citizens received over the course of the investigation played an important part in solving the crime. “It was a combined effort of law enforcement and citizens,” that lead to the arrests, Chief Aston said. The three are not, at this time, considered to be suspects in the most recent armed robbery of another Johnston business owner as he arrived at his home from work on September 11, Chief Aston said. ©
