Deputies Nab Metal Thieves after Citizen Tip


web posted January 24, 2012

TRENTON – A Trenton man passing an unoccupied home on Edgefield Road Friday afternoon noticed two men in a white truck loading metal into the back of the truck. He called 911 and gave a description of the truck and the men who were last seen pulling out of the location and heading south on Highway 25.

An Edgefield County Sheriff's Deputy patrolled the area and was able to locate the truck and the two men and conducted a traffic stop near Bream Oak subdivision. There were numerous items of various types of metal in the back of the truck as well as inside the truck. The men were detained until the property owner arrived and identified several items that were taken from his property.

The two men, both from Grovetown, Georgia, were then taken into custody. A search of the truck turned up two glass "pipes", one with a black, brown, and white residue inside and the second contained a white residue. They were taken in as evidence and turned over to the Sheriff's Narcotics Division for testing. Also found in the cab of the truck were to open beers.

Robert James Gross, 46, and Phillip T. Astolfi, 47, were both booked on charges of trespassing after notice, open container, larceny, and illegal transport of non-ferrous metal without a permit. The truck was towed from the scene.
