A series of break-ins at storage facilities throughout the county has left authorities puzzled and facility owners with little choice but to increase security.

Scotland Mini Storage at 11580 McColl Road was hit twice, with break-ins reported on April 20 and again the next day.

Between Sunday night and Monday morning, three more break-ins ocurred at Butler Mini Storage on North Wilkerson Drive and at Storage Solutions facilities on 620 South Main Street and 305 North King Street.

According to Lt. Marc Godwin of the Laurinburg Police Department, it is a reasonable assumption that the same culprit is to blame for all five break-ins, although there is no conclusive evidence.

No footage of the break-ins were caught on surveillance cameras, according to Godwin, and police have no leads on potential suspects at this time.

Due to the nature of the mini-storage business, it may be some time before a total inventory can be taken and stolen items can be determined. Multiple units were broken into at each location.

“These people that had these units, most of them live somewhere else - all of the owners have to be contacted,” Godwin said.

Timothy Davis, Jr., manager of Storage Solutions, where around 10 individual units were broken into at each location, said that extra precautions will be taken to avoid further break-ins of this kind, such as installing surveillance cameras and hiring a nighttime security guard.

As of yet, no Storage Solutions renters have noticed anything stolen, and Davis said that nothing like this has ever happened there before.

Davis added that unit renters cannot access their storage units after dark, as the gates at Storage Solutions lock automatically at 9 p.m. and unlocking at 7 a.m.

Storage facility owners will be assisted by law enforcement officers in protecting their and their renters’ property.

“With this many hits at several different locations, we’ve tried to set up some temporary solutions,” said Godwin. “We’re working on some more permanent solutions with the owners.”

Man wanted in multiple shootings

Authorities are looking for a man they believe was involved in a series of shootings in Laurinburg on Monday night.

Terrence Green of Emory Street and Willie Blue of Salley McNair Road were each shot at McDuffie Village apartments, according to Lt. Cliff Sessoms of the Laurinburg Police Department.

The shootings all occurred around 7 p.m.

Green, 26, was shot twice and Blue, 35, was shot three times. The victims were transported to Scotland Memorial Hospital, where they remained hospitalized as of Tuesday afternoon.

At the time of the shooting, Blue was fishing in Leith Creek near the apartments. Green, who was indoors when the shooting began, came outside soon after and was shot.

“We believe that they were targeted - this was not a random shooting,” said Sessoms.

That shooting, and the possibility of multiple shooters, is still under investigation.

Around the same time, police received a call regarding a shooting at 401 Tuskeegee Drive, where officers found Edward Cain, 31, who was shot once. Cain, of Tuskeegee Drive, was treated at Scotland Memorial Hospital and released.

No one was injured in an additional shooting when the residence at 503 Corona Ave. was shot at. The home was occupied at the time.

At presstime, authorities were searching for Antonia L. Evans, 38, of 407 Corona Ave for involvement in the shootings of Blue and Cain as well as the Corona Avenue incident.

“The shootings occurred in the same area and the suspect drove from McDuffie Village to Tuskeegee and we believe then drove to Corona Avenue,” Sessoms said.

Evans faces two charges of attempted murder, one charge for felonious shooting into an occupied dwelling, one count of discharging a firearm in the city, three counts of assault by pointing a gun, one count of injury to real property, and one count of possession of a firearm by a convicted felon.

Police are still investigating the identity of Green’s shooter.

Authorities are looking for a man they believe was involved in a series of shootings in Laurinburg on Monday night.

Terrence Green of Emory Street and Willie Blue of Salley McNair Road were each shot at McDuffie Village apartments, according to Lt. Cliff Sessoms of the Laurinburg Police Department.

The shootings all occurred around 7 p.m.

Green, 26, was shot twice and Blue, 35, was shot three times. The victims were transported to Scotland Memorial Hospital, where they remained hospitalized as of Tuesday afternoon.

At the time of the shooting, Blue was fishing in Leith Creek near the apartments. Green, who was indoors when the shooting began, came outside soon after and was shot.

“We believe that they were targeted - this was not a random shooting,” said Sessoms.

That shooting, and the possibility of multiple shooters, is still under investigation.

Around the same time, police received a call regarding a shooting at 401 Tuskeegee Drive, where officers found Edward Cain, 31, who was shot once. Cain, of Tuskeegee Drive, was treated at Scotland Memorial Hospital and released.

No one was injured in an additional shooting when the residence at 503 Corona Ave. was shot at. The home was occupied at the time.

At presstime, authorities were searching for Antonia L. Evans, 38, of 407 Corona Ave for involvement in the shootings of Blue and Cain as well as the Corona Avenue incident.

“The shootings occurred in the same area and the suspect drove from McDuffie Village to Tuskeegee and we believe then drove to Corona Avenue,” Sessoms said.

Evans faces two charges of attempted murder, one charge for felonious shooting into an occupied dwelling, one count of discharging a firearm in the city, three counts of assault by pointing a gun, one count of injury to real property, and one count of possession of a firearm by a convicted felon.

Police are still investigating the identity of Green’s shooter.
