Two Merriwether homes burglarized


web posted March 1, 2010
MERRIWETHER – At least two Merriwether families started their weekend off by discovering their homes had been burglarized. Within hours of each other, a home on Mealing Drive and Cheves Creek called the Sheriff’s Office to report the crimes on Friday.

The owner of the Cheves Creek home arrived to find a window in the back door partially broken, pry marks on the door, and the door kicked in breaking the doorjamb. The person or persons then searched the house and stole an undisclosed amount of jewelry and several guns, including an antique gun. “That was my great-great-grandfather’s gun. That’s the kind of stuff you can’t replace,” the owner said, describing it as a Remington Model 25 16-gauge pump shotgun. 

In all, eleven guns, assorted jewelry, a smaller flat screen TV, and a duffle bag were taken.

The theft is believed to have taken place sometime between 0 am and noon Friday. A total value of the items taken was not available.

Very few details were available on the burglary at a home on Mealing Drive that took place possibly during the same timeframe and is said to have been similar.

Both scenes were processed for evidence including fingerprints and photographs.

Residents are advised to keep their homes secured and to report suspicious persons or vehicles in you area. Anyone seeing a suspicious vehicle in the area of these two burglaries Friday morning should call the Edgefield County Sheriff’s Office at 803-278-1625 or 803-637-5337. You do not need to provide your name to give information.
