17-year-old among suspects arrested for trying to break into Florence County home

Two people are charged with ‘attempted house breaking’ after an incident in Lake City Tuesday afternoon.

Police say officers were dispatched to a break-in in progress on Adams Street around 2 p.m. while the owner was still inside the residence.

When officers arrived on scene, they were given a description of the suspects and within minutes of the investigation, were able to make two arrests.

17-year-old Jaheim Hanna and 25-year-old Dephante Brown are accused of trying to break into a home by trying to kick in the back door.

Both were taken to the Effingham Detention Center.
