Report of Broken Glass, Papers, and Child Seat Leads to Stolen Cars


web posted September 15, 2012

TRENTONAn Edgefield County Sheriff's Investigator was called about a resident finding broken glass, paperwork and a child seat thrown into the woods on James Drive near Woodyard Road on Tuesday. After finding a vehicle registration card among the papers the Chevy Blazer was found to be stolen out of Richmond County, Georgia, but was not present at the location. The next stop was a nearby scrap metal company where the SUV had been sold for scrap and that led to a total of four stolen vehicles being identified and resulted in two arrests on Friday.

When the SUC was identified it was found to have an altered VIN plate, which did not come back as stolen. Additional investigation found other vin numbers on the vehicle which matched the stolen SUV. From there, a records check of vehicles sold by the same person over the previous days ended up finding three of the four being reported stolen in Richmond County. All had VIN plates from other vehicles that had been put on the stolen vehicles to try to hide the thefts.

On Friday the two suspects arrived at the company again to sell what is believed to be another stolen vehicle. Willie Holden, 33 (above left), and Gary Haynes, age not available, were arrested and transported to the Edgefield County Detention Center for booking.

Holden has been charged with three counts of possession of stolen property and selling a vehicle with an altered VIN number. Haynes is facing one count of each of the charges. Additional charges are possible.

Investigators said the two would remove the actual VIN plates and replace them with stolen VIN plates; possibly from scraped cars to hide the fact the cars they were selling were stolen.
