From the Simpson County Sheriff’s Department
Greg Reynolds, Interim Sheriff
Thursday afternoon, February 28, 2019, near 1:00 PM, a resident on Heed Neely Road returned home and discovered that the front door had been kicked open and the burglars were still inside the home. A white Honda sedan with Georgia license plates was parked in the yard with a white female driving. One white male ran out the back door while another white male with red hair ran down a power line and into the woods between Heed Neely and Barney Banks Road. Simpson County Sheriff’s deputies remained in the area and tracked one individual over a mile into the woods; however, the suspect wasn’t located.
Later Thursday night, the sheriff’s deputies located and arrested one of the suspects on Jupiter Road near Heed Neely Road. At approximately 9:45 PM, another resident of Heed Neely Road reported their vehicle being stolen. Deputies arrived shortly after placed the vehicle on NCIC (National Crime Information Center). Richland Police Department spotted the vehicle around 11:00 PM and took the second suspect into custody.
The Simpson County Sheriff’s Office is still searching for the female driver. The trio are suspects in at least one other house burglary in Simpson County.
