Timmonsville Residents on Alert: Burglars Strike Twice in One Night
If you live in Timmonsville, Florence County, South Carolina, it’s time to keep your eyes peeled! The local community is buzzing with concern after a couple of masked individuals attempted a series of burglaries early on March 11. The Florence County Sheriff’s Office is seeking the public’s help in identifying these two suspects, who might be hiding behind their disguises but certainly are causing quite a stir in the area.
The First Attempt
The trouble began at around 4 a.m. at Langston Supply, a local business located on West John Paul Jones Road. Workers at the store were likely none the wiser as the masked burglars made their move during the early hours of the morning when the store was closed. The suspects attempted to cut the power to the building before they tried to sneak inside. Fortunately, their plans fell through and, to everyone’s relief, they left empty-handed. Surveillance cameras managed to capture images of the burglars, but what’s crucial is that nothing was stolen during this first break-in.
A Second Attempt
The Sheriff’s Office Steps Up

The Florence County Sheriff’s Office has released photos of the suspects not only to keep the community in the loop but also to encourage anyone who might have any information to step forward.
