ANDERSON COUNTY — Some Anderson County vehicle owners continue to provide opportunities for thieves in spite of roughly 120 vehicle break-ins since Oct. 9.

Anderson County sheriff's deputies are investigating six complaints that were made on Friday and Saturday about thieves entering unlocked vehicles and stealing unsecured possessions.

Deputies said the six reports relate to break-ins on Prater Lane in Townville; on Lewis Street, Whitehall Road, Knollwood Drive and Asbury Road, all in Anderson; and at Marathon Church on Roe Road, which is in Anderson County but has a Greenville address.

Losses of roughly $1,600 were reported, including losses of tools, jewelry and electronics.

In one incident, two thieves escaped with their lives after a homeowner fired a warning shot around 12:45 a.m. Sunday on Asbury Road, according to the incident report.

The resident fired into the air, causing two men inside his vehicle to run, dropping stolen items as they fled, according to the report.

So far, deputies have made four arrests in unrelated incidents believed to be part of the spree of vehicle break-ins.

A fifth arrest made Saturday for a break-in does not appear to be related to the recent spree, according to Susann Griffin, Sheriff's Office spokeswoman. But Britini Corcoran, 19, of Azalea Drive in Anderson is charged with breaking into a vehicle, underage possession of alcohol and petty larceny, according to official records.

The group of four people arrested related to the spree includes Terrance Irby, 19, who has said he is homeless. Irby is in custody in lieu of a $50,000 bond after Anderson police charged him Oct. 23 with the theft of 2007 Chevrolet Tahoe truck valued at $30,000. Irby has been charged with seven vehicle break-ins in the county, Griffin said.

Other arrests include Stephen Odom, 18, of Ashton Lane in Anderson, who was arrested by deputies on Oct. 21 and charged with four counts of breaking into vehicles, two counts of grand larceny and one count of petty larceny, according to Anderson County Detention Center records.

Ryan Langston, 19, of Old Trail Road in Anderson was arrested Oct. 20 and charged with one count of breaking into a motor vehicle and petty larceny, according to records.

Deputies arrested Eugene Burriss, 52, of 509 Crescent Drive in Anderson on Oct. 18 and charged him with one count of breaking into a motor vehicle and petty larceny.
