Four people were arrested Tuesday, Dec. 22, by the Edgefield County Sheriff’s Office as the result of a raid on a residence at 32 Rainforest Lane in North Augusta (Edgefield County). An ECSO incident report details how deputies with the ECSO as well as authorities with the South Carolina Law Enforcement Division (SLED) and the federal ATF (Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms) responded to the aforementioned addressed to execute a search warrant after receiving information detailing drugs, weapons, and stolen items at the residence. According to the report, once at the home, SLED entered the residence and secured the scene. The ATF swept the scene for explosives, but none were found. However, an undisclosed amount of weapons, drugs, and other items was seized from inside the residence. In addition, several stolen vehicles were seized from the outside perimeter of the home.
