Two caught while carrying items from home after burglary, sheriff says

Two men were caught carrying items from a home right after an alleged Thursday afternoon burglary in Marlow, authorities said.

Anderson County Sheriff’s Department deputies responded to a burglary-in-progress call on Pine Ridge Lane off East Wolf Valley Road near Clinton at about 4:30 p.m. Thursday. A neighbor had reported two men breaking into a nearby home, Anderson County Sheriff Paul White said.

Several deputies responded and caught the two men, Dustin Adam Bunch, 26, of Long Hollow Road, and Dustin Matthew Byrd, 24, of Pleasant Lane. Both were arrested at the scene and are being held in the Anderson County Detention Facility with bonds pending their arraignment, White said.

The sheriff said quick responses by deputies led to the arrests. Bunch and Byrd have been charged with aggravated burglary, felony property theft, and criminal trespassing.
