For many of us, the holidays are stressful times, whether the cause is demands on our time or demands on our pocketbook. And for some unfortunate folks, that can be a literal demand made by an armed robber or a purse snatcher.
The Richland County Sheriff’s Department this week reported the arrest of four individuals involved in at least seven incidents between November 25 and December 6 in Columbia. They have been charged with strong armed robbery, armed robbery, larceny, and petit larceny, among other things.
