Summerville Man Held Over Georgetown County Burglary; Second Suspect Still Sought
Lawrence Bridges, 49, of Summerville, was taken into custody Thursday morning near South Island and Belle Isle roads in Georgetown County, according to yahoo.com, citing the Georgetown County Sheriff's Office.
Bridges is one of two suspects believed to have broken into a property in the Dover Plantation community on November 10. During that incident, investigators say the pair stole two side-by-sides, firearms, chainsaws, generators and other tools.
Following his arrest, deputies interviewed Bridges and obtained information identifying a second suspect: James Westly Mizzell. Authorities say Mizzell may still be in the area and is believed to be armed. The public is urged not to approach him and to call 911 immediately upon spotting him.
The case took a further turn Wednesday night, when the two men allegedly returned to the same Dover Plantation property and were caught on surveillance cameras. Law enforcement responded, but both men fled into nearby woods. Deputies later located and towed a vehicle believed to be connected to the investigation and recovered one of the stolen side-by-sides.
The Georgetown County Sheriff's Office said the investigation remains ongoing.
