Break-in suspect arrested

Posted

 A Florida man is being held in a string of car break-ins.

Lexington County deputies arrested Eugene Christopher Washington, 33.

He is charged with 6 counts of larceny from a motor vehicle and 1 count of identity fraud.

 “We got a break when a resident contacted us from Chapin with a description of a man and a car involved in what he thought to be a car break-in,” Lexington County Sheriff Jay Koon said. 
“Deputies acted on that tip and located Washington and the car the resident saw him driving away in.”

Deputies searched a house where Washington was staying and found items and documents from multiple car break-ins.

“Washington had more than two dozen Social Security numbers, driver’s licenses and victim bank account information,” Koon said. 
“Based on what Washington told investigators, he hit multiple areas around Lexington County including Chapin, Columbia, Irmo and Lexington. Our work on those cases is ongoing.”
