Arson, vandalism and burglaries occur BELTON-HON EA PATH -Thieves did not take a break during the Christmas holidays, with various reports handled by law enforcement officers ranging from arson to burglaries. •An arson was reported Jan. 3 about 9 p.m. in the 800 block of Abercrombie Road near Honea Path, according to an Anderson County Sheriff’s Office report. The homeowner had gone outside to wash eggs off his vehicle from an earlier vandalism. When he re-entered the home, a smoke alarm activated in the hallway and he saw a fire at the end of the home in one of the bedrooms. He extinguished the fire with a garden hose. The resident told deputies he did not see anyone around the home prior to the fire, but heard a vehicle leave the area at a high rate of speed. He did say that his son had been in a disagreement over a female, but he was unsure if that was a contributing factor in the fire and vandalism. The arson case was turned over to Friendship Fire Department and the Anderson County Fire Department arson investigator Brian Moon. •A burglary was reported at Timken on Brick Mill Road between Dec. 31 and Jan. 2. The maintenance technician noticed a trailer containing a welder was missing. The garage door was slightly ajar and the latch containing a padlock had been cut. Forensics was notified and dispatched to the site. The trailer and tools were worth about $6,000, according to a sheriff’s office report. •A burglary was reported in the 2100 block of Cheddar Road near Belton, having occurred sometime between Dec. 23 and Jan. 3. When the resident arrived home following a trip, he found that the rear door had been pried open. It appeared nothing had been stolen, but the homeowner found a piece of the door lock on the dresser in a bedroom. •A burglary was reported to the sheriff’s office which had occurred between Jan. 1 and 2 in the 1500 block of Pinson Farm Road near Belton. A broken pane from an earlier break-in had not yet been repaired, allowing the burglar to gain entrance to the home. About $1,250 worth of items was stolen. •Tossing fireworks at a bicyclist - while a police officer was nearby landed a driver in trouble on Dec. 29. Roger Dale Brock, 39, of George Alewine Road in Due West, was charged with discharging fireworks from a vehicle, third-offense driving under suspension and was also served with outstanding warrants. While on patrol about 12:35 p.m., a Honea Path officer saw a man pull up to a stop sign at the intersection of Saluda and Eastview streets. The man lit and threw a bottle rock from the vehicle at a person riding a bicycle. Officers stopped the vehicle and identified the driver, giving him tickets for two offenses. Brock was also wanted on a warrant for other charges including driving under the influence. He was arrested and taken to the Anderson County Detention Center. •Two hit-and-run incidents were reported on Dec. 30 at Burger King on East Greer Street in Honea Path. The first was reported Dec. 30 about 1:40 p.m. Someone struck a car and then fled the scene, based on witnesses’ accounts. Another hit-and-run was reported at about 8:30 p.m. A man said that a woman driving a Buick or Oldsmobile backed into his vehicle and left the scene. •A Honea Path resident was apparently the target of a scam phone call on Jan. 3. Someone called, asked for the person and told her they were calling from the IRS. For the rest of the police blotter reports, pick up this week’s NewsChronicle on newsstands today.
