CAMDEN (WACH) -- Kershaw County officials say they've arrested a suspect wanted for two Camden robberies.

Deputies say they arrested 44-year-old Anthony Sylvester Bolden Monday.  Investigators say on July 21 Bolden robbed the Kangaroo gas station near I-20.  Days later on the 24th, he robbed the Holiday Inn Express next door, according to officials.

Bolden has a lengthy criminal record which, deputies say, helped them locate him.

Bolden was linked to other robberies in Richland and Lee counties dating back to the late 90's.  One investigator working one of those cases remembered that Bolden made the victims take off their clothes.  The investigator linked the new case, which had similarities, back to the incident over a decade ago, according to officials.
