“I’m proud of the work our deputies and investigators put into this case. These thieves were taking from hardworking and honest citizens and this is the result of habitual conduct. Hopefully this time, the courts will hold these individuals fully accountable. Let this be a reminder: if you’re stealing from the citizens of Laurens County or bringing crime and drugs into our communities, it will catch up to you eventually…and so will we.” – Sheriff Reynolds
