Deputies seek third suspect in attempted ATM theft

Darlington County sheriff’s deputies are asking for the public’s help to find the third suspect in the attempted theft of an automatic teller machine from a Hartsville area convenience store.

Myron Dennis Hartley, 29, of Darlington is wanted on a charge of second-degree burglary, according to a press release from the Darlington County Sheriff’s Office.

Deputies responded early the morning of June 4 to an alarm call at the Market on the corner of East Carolina Avenue and S.C. 102.

When they arrived, they found someone tried to steal the ATM from inside the store. The would-be thieves drove a small white car through the front door of the store and attempted to drive off with the ATM, which was bolted to the floor.

A review of surveillance video footage led investigators to the suspects’ car and one of the suspects, identified as Thomas Michael Reiff of Hartsville, the day of the crime.

Reiff, 46, of 517 Coker Ave. is charged with second-degree burglary, Darlington County Detention Center booking reports show.

Kenneth Newsome Jr., 29 of 1201 Lakeview Blvd., Hartsville was arrested Friday in connection with this case. He also is charged with second-degree burglary.

Anyone with information about this case is asked to call the sheriff’s office at (843) 398-4501 or the state Crime Stoppers hotline at (888) CRIME SC (274-6372). Callers need not reveal their identities.
