Big Steven's Creek Baptist Church site of
weekend burglary Edgefielddaily.com web posted September 26, 2005 Below: Ray Brown surveys equipment left behind Edgefield Daily.com photo  MERRIWETHER
– A
burglary took place Friday night or early Saturday morning in the back
parking lot of Big Stevens Creek Baptist Church where a large storage
container held equipment for R.D. Brown Construction Company and Big
Stevens Creek Baptist Church grounds crews. The container was noticed
open by a R.D. Brown worker around 7:00 a.m. he but thought church
members were cutting the grass. Ray Brown, owner of R.D. Brown
Construction and a Deacon at Big Stevens Creek, said he discovered the
break in when he investigated the container about mid-day. Missing from the large storage container was a laser which is used in grading, a chipping hammer, a generator, and a small riding mower. No value for the items was available at this writing but an approximate value was stated as being well into the thousands. Deputy Jimmy Smith dusts for prints Edgefield Daily.com photo 
Edgefield County Sheriff’s Deputy Jimmy Smith responded to the call and took photographs of the tire tracks and footprints as well as dusted for finger prints on items the burglars moved in order to gain access to the items they stole. A very expensive riding mower was drug out of the way in order to take the smaller mower suggesting the thieves did not have a trailer or truck bed large enough to carry it away. Deputy Smith stated the perpetrators wore gloves as no solid prints were able to be lifted from the mower or the storage container. It appeared a chain or coupling was attached to the locking arm secured by a padlock and then to the back of a truck which then pulled the doors open. Once opened the larger mower was then drug out of the trailer the same way.  The matter has been
handed over to investigators.Left: Deputy Jimmy Smith dusts for prints as Mike Mock looks on. Edgefield Daily.com photo
