FOREST ACRES, S.C. \u2014 In a video posted to the City of Forest Acres page Chief Don Robinson and Richland County Sheriff Leon Lott talk about recent break-ins around Forest Acres and in Richland County.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Robinson says, “Most of them have happened on the north end of the city-Arcadia Road, Cornett, Norwood, Dare and areas right around that whole area. \u00a0We are working together with the sheriff to eliminate this problem.”<\/p>\n
A bike has been stolen along with two guns.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He says they received a tip about an abandoned property in the woods and as police were walking the woods but found no evidence. \u00a0 “Hopefully we will get a resolution to this quickly.”<\/p>\n
Lott went on to say that in the last couple of days a rash of car break-ins have occurred, the sheriff stressed that this was someone breaking into cars, not just looking for unlocked cars.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Nine cars have been broke into in the last three days. \u00a0Many nothing was taken, but a gun was taken from one of the cars broken into in Richland County and Forest Acres had a gun stolen from a car also.\u00a0<\/p>\n
“Don’t leave your gun in your vehicle. \u00a0Your vehicle is not a holster, ” stressed Lott during press conference.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The sheriff believes that it was done by an unhoused \u00a0person. \u00a0He is wearing a camouflage jacket and unique sneakers, black and red Jordan high tops.\u00a0 He appears to have a\u00a0 silver\/grey “Trek” bicycle. This was from surveillance video. \u00a0The sheriff says they are also running DNA tests.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The incidents appear to happen between 4am and 6am.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Chief Robinson is asking those in the area to check their security or Ring cameras for the suspect.\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Richland Sheriff Leon Lott and Forest Acres chief Don Robinson are hoping the public can help.
