Richland County authorities arrested five men in connection with a three-day crime spree around the area of Two Notch Road.<\/p>\n
Richland County Sheriff Leon Lott announced the arrests in a press conference Wednesday.<\/p>\n
\u201cSadly I\u2019m here to tell you about five young men who\u2019ve thrown their lives away,\u201d Lott told reporters.<\/p>\n
The five men, Javari Ward, 21, Javon Sims, 20,\u00a0 Izaha Holmes, 19, Tavis Bethel, 20, and Alan Wright, 19 were each charged with armed robbery.<\/p>\n
The robbers held up three gas stations and a computer parts store while wearing bandanas and\u00a0utilizing handguns.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt was easy for us to know there was a crime spree going on,\u201d Lott said.<\/p>\n
According to Lott, the men were captured after being tracked to a local motel room. In his press conference, Lott said the robbers posed a threat to the community.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis was a group that was dangerous; this was a group that was not going to stop,\u201d said Lott.<\/p>\n
When asked about a possible motive for the crimes, the sheriff stated it was purely financial.<\/p>\n
\u201cThey wanted money – for them the easy way was to go out and rob people,\u201d said Lott.<\/p>\n
The Richland County Fugitive Task Force as well as the U.S. Marshals Service are credited with tracking and arresting the fugitives.<\/p>\n
