Search over, 3 suspects still at large after armed burglary at St. Helena Island home

Three suspects in an armed burglary at a St. Helena Island home late Wednesday morning remain at large after a search through the woods involving police and K-9 units.

The Sheriff’s Office created a perimeter and attempted to track the three suspects with the help of dogs into the early afternoon, according to a Sheriff’s Office news release.

The suspects are described as African American males wearing dark hooded sweatshirts and blue jeans, according to the release. No other description was given.

Law enforcement presence will be increased in the area of Dulamo Road and Creek House and Prayer and Roman lanes, according to the release.
