According to Greenville Police Department, on the morning of Aug. 1 at approximately 3:30 a.m. Greenville Police Department received a call in reference to an alarm at the Corner Stop on Halso Mill Rd.
On arrival officers found the front door glass broken out and several items taken from inside. Investigators arrived on scene and were able to collect some physical evidence as well as review security footage.
CID Commander, Captain Justin Lovvorn, said, “We observed two black males force their way into the store and take several items, including alcoholic beverages and cigars. The two black males were wearing gloves and one had a mask on.”
Lovvorn also stated, on Aug. 9, at approximately 5:15 a.m., officers responded to another alarm call from the Corner Stop. Officers arrived and once again found the glass of the front door broken out and several items missing from inside. Investigators were again called out and processed the scene.
Lovvorn stated, “The security video was reviewed and found three black males entered the business and took items from inside. Investigators were able to use evidence recovered from both of the scenes to develop a suspect in the case.”
On Aug. 17, officers went to that suspect’s residence and brought him in for questioning. After being confronted with the evidence, the suspect confessed to the burglaries. Investigators were also able to identify the other two suspects in the case. They were brought in and also confessed to their part in the burglaries as well.
