RCSD arrests man suspected in 21 armed robberies

preview

By COLUMBIA, S.C. (WIS) - Deputies have arrested a man police say is responsible for 21 armed robberies in one month. WIS has reported about the string of robberies that deputies said were likely connected, but since our last report the number of crimes has doubled. The robberies happened in both Lexington and Richland counties from mid-October until mid-November. Most recently, Sheriff Leon Lott says the suspect robbed two different stores on Monday, Nov. 16 -- including a BP on Two Notch Road and a Dollar General on Broad River Road. Police from several agencies arrested Deveon Belk on Tuesday morning at a home in Lexington. So far, Belk is charged in five armed robberies under RCSD’s jurisdiction. However, officials believe he is the man responsible for all 21 crimes and they will try to charge him with each. These are the crimes for which he currently faces charges: Toward the beginning of the crime spree, police reported that the robber kept his hands in his pocket, as if he had a gun, while demanding cash. But by the beginning of November, victims told police the suspect pulled a gun on them. Two victims in Richland County said they were forced into a bathroom or closet at gunpoint. Lott said Belk is a dangerous person who had to be caught to be stopped. “I hope he goes away for a long time,” Lott said. “I hope we all retire before he gets out.” Belk is currently being held at Alvin S. Glenn Detention Center. This story will be updated. LIVE: Sheriff Leon Lott says a string of recent armed robberies has been reported in Richland County and the surrounding area.
