 Sheriff calls on citizens to help stop latest rash of larcenies web posted August 26, 2009 COUNTY – Edgefield County Sheriff Adell Dobey issued the following release in an effort to curb a rise in crime across the county recently: To all Citizens, we need your help again. Due to an increase in the number of larcenies spread throughout Edgefield County, Sheriff Adell Dobey is again asking citizens to be on the look out for any suspicious activity happening in or around their neighborhoods. Since the arrest of suspected burglar Robert Anthony Webber in June of 2009, there have been thirteen reported burglaries and thirty-four larcenies, including five burglaries and eleven larcenies in the month of August alone. The types of property stolen has included: vehicles, utility trailers, generators, golf carts, lawn movers, ATV’s, tools, jewelry, electronics, farm equipment (tractors and backhoes), and cash. The majority of these larcenies are not the result of house break-ins. These larcenies have been occurring in yards, unlocked garages, barns, carports, on farmland, storage buildings, and at weekend residences. Give of the larcenies were the result of automobile break-ins. Please take steps necessary to secure your property, when it is not in use. Do not leave any items of value visible in your vehicles. Regularly check on other properties that you may own or lease, as well as pond houses and weekend residences, take all necessary steps to protect yourself, family and property. With the limited amount of manpower, deputies patrolling the county cannot be everywhere at one time. To address this problem, Sheriff Dobey is again asking extra deputies to work overtime to increase patrols in the county, during this outbreak of larcenies. The Sheriff’s office is committed to protecting the property of Edgefield County citizens. On August 21st, a witness gave the Sheriff’s office a description of a vehicle speeding from the witness’s property, on Little Lane, North Augusta, with a stolen concrete mixer. The vehicle was described as a mid 90’s Dodge Caravan, green in color, pulling a utility trailer. Please, if you see anything the least bit suspicious, such as a vehicle driving slowing through your neighborhood, parked on the side of the road, especially close to a house, making repeated trips through your neighborhood, or any vehicle pulling a utility trailer loaded with property that appears suspicious, don’t hesitate in calling the Sheriff’s office. You may remain anonymous if you wish, as all information and tips are investigated. You are the first line of defense in these types of crimes. You are our eyes and ears and we need your help. Be observant and get as many details as you can about the vehicle, such as the color, type, year, tag number, director of travel, and a description of the person or persons in the vehicle. This is all the information we need to work together. When calling 911 from a cellular phone, please be aware that we may not receive all of the calls due to your location and the location of the cellular towers. If you are in the Aiken, North Augusta, or McCormick areas, your call may transfer to those counties. If you are unsure, please dial 803-637-5337 or 803-278-1625. Please program these numbers in your cellular phone. If anyone has any questions, comments, information about these crimes, or any crime, you are asked to call the Sheriff’s office. Again, anyone calling may remain anonymous and thank you for your help. © Copyright 2009
