BLUFFTON, S.C.-- The Beaufort County Sheriff’s office is still working to identify a suspect wanted for breaking into a Bluffton home in September.
Officials say that at 10:30 a.m. on September 18, Sheriff’s deputies responded to a reported burglary at a home in the Baywood subdivision on Simmonsville Rd. Upon arrival, deputies met with the 36-year-old homeowner who advised moments earlier, she’d discovered an intruder in her home.
The victim reported hearing the doorbell ring while she was upstairs. Shortly thereafter, she heard a loud thump coming from the kitchen area. When she went to investigate the source of the noise, she found an unknown white male lying on the kitchen floor.
She confronted the suspect, who had made forced entry to the home through the kitchen door. The suspect immediately fled the home, while the victim contacted 911. The suspect was seen driving away in a white Chevy Lumina bearing a Georgia license plate with the first three letters being “BZR.”
The victim was unharmed during the burglary, and nothing was stolen.
The suspect was described as a white male between 20-22 years of age, approximately 6’00”, 200 lbs with short brown hair, wearing a black t-shirt and blue jeans shorts. A composite sketch has since been completed of the suspect (see attached).
The Sheriff’s Office is asking anyone with information to contact either Investigator Sgt L. Albertin at 843-842-4111 ext. 279 or the Beaufort County Dispatch Center at 843-524-2777.
