KERSHAW COUNTY (WACH) -- Officials in Kershaw County are reporting a series of home invasions that happened over a span of three days.

The sheriff's department says two suspects, who were armed, broke into three homes Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights and took cash from the victims.

Investigators say the robberies happened on Precipice Road and Black River Road.

Bloodhound tracking teams traced the suspects back to a mobile home park on Pathfinder Trail.

Sheriff Jim Matthews says he's confident his deputies know who committed these crimes and it's just a matter of time before they are taken into custody.

"These two guys left behind a lot of very incriminating evidence. I would encourage them to contact an attorney and turn themselves in as soon as possible,” Sheriff Matthews said.

Deputies say there were no serious injuries reported.
