The Marlboro County Sheriffs Office is asking for help with an investigation into three recent home invasions that have occurred in the Clio area of Marlboro County.
Sheriff Fred Knights says in the past month, deputies have responded to three separate incidents that are all in the Hwy 381 and Laurin Willis Road area.
Knight says the victims report similar actions by the suspects, but the investigation has not confirmed that they are the same or that the crimes are related.
The victims report that masked people came into their homes, tied them up, demanded money and in one case stole some electronics and a vehicle that was later recovered. The victims report the suspects have been armed with handguns and long guns in each case.
Knight says his agency is working closely with the Dillon County Sheriff's Office and the Robeson County Sheriff's Office on this investigation.
Anyone with any information should call the Marlboro County Sheriff's Office at (843) 479-5605.
The information will be kept confidential, and a reward is being offered for information leading to the arrest and conviction of the suspects.
