When discussing criminal behavior we are constantly confronted with excuses. "He poor. Nobody ever gave him nuttin'. He just gettin' his." Uh-huh. Okay.
Last week we profiled a salt and pepper team that initial reports indicated were possibly serial burglars. Both of them lived in the fairly affluent neighborhood of Indigo Fields and were victimizing their neighbors.
Now we hear about two more young fellas arrested for burglarizing a furniture store and stealing cash and three handguns. One of those burglars, Chancellor Harper (17), is also from the Indigo Fields neighborhood. The other, Bradley Hill (18), lives in the gated and exclusive Coosaw Creek neighborhood. Of course, the excuses listed above only apply to "urban youths" involved in crime. We doubt anyone will be making similar excuses for these affluent white boys.
As of the time this post was published both of these guys were showing in the CCSO inmate database as having paid their bonds in Charleston County, but they haven't been released. Too bad they were also charged by NCPD with weapons charges in Dorchester County. A concerned citizen called about a suspicious vehicle parked in Indigo Fields and when cops rolled up Hill and Harper were trying to hide the guns in the car. Now they have to have bond hearings in Dorchester County, too.
These guys may be sneak thieves, but at least they aren't out there knocking on doors and gunning down women. That's a point in their favor, right? Nah. Not really. Had they been able to get away with this crime those guns would have ended up in the hands of the thugs who do engage in that behavior.
Harper was charged by NCPD with two counts of 2nd Degree Burglary, two counts of Possession of Burglary Tools and one count of Grand Larceny. His total bond was set at $24,000.

Hill was also charged by NCPD with two counts of Burglary 2nd Degree, two counts of Possession of Burglary Tools and one count of Grand Larceny. The Clerk's database and the jail database differ on this, but we will go with the Clerk's database. Hill's total bond was also set at $24,000.

There were two counts of burglary for each suspect because this business has more than one building and two of them were broken into.
A citizen alerted us to the fact that both of these guys once worked for Atlantic Bedding & Furniture. Here is a photo from Hill's Facebook page taken at the warehouse in the back. Good thing OSHA didn't round the corner while this was going on, huh?

Most of you folks will be happy to know the bond judge set another condition of bond. Both of these young burglars will have to be accompanied by an adult anywhere they go and must have constant adult supervision.
Kind of like the adult supervision they had when they were out between midnight and four in the morning breaking into businesses and stealing stuff?
