  Second Merriwether Home Targeted for Gun Thefts web posted October 2, 2012 MERRIWETHER – A second burglary of Merriwether homes has again seen a large number of weapons stolen in the past two weeks, this time topping over $20,000 in value. A Dupriest Circle man called the Edgefield County Sheriff's Office after discovering that an estimated $22,000 in vintage guns were discovered stolen from his home on Friday after he returned. According to an incident report, the man's daughter had reported finding his garage door open a few weeks ago while he was out of town. He did not discover the theft until returning. Among the stolen guns were an 1873 Winchester, and 1894 Winchester, a Remington 30.06 semi-automatic rifle, a Marlin 30.30 lever action and a Lafiver 12 gauge double barrel shotgun. A tent that was in the garage, valued at $150, was also found missing. No serial numbers were available for the guns at the time of the report, but will be turned over to investigators for further investigation. Two weeks ago a Martintown Road home was targeted for a burglary that saw 13 guns stolen, as reported here with serial numbers. In that burglary a total of nearly $60,000 in weapons and silver coins stolen. One arrest has already been made in that case. Gene Donald Cook, Jr., 47, has been charged in connection to the Martintown Road burglary. More arrests are expected. © Copyright 2012 All material is property of
