Beech Island Seeks Sub Station After Bank Robberies
Beech Island resident David Towles urged the Aiken County Council to take the lead in establishing a sheriff’s department sub station in the unincorporated township after noting the local bank has been robbed nine times. He said a sub station would deter crime and could be housed in the First Citizens Bank space or the fire station. The council treated the presentation as information with no immediate commitment. The discussion coincided with approval of a second reading to allow home monitoring for inmates to relieve jail crowding at the 105 bed facility, a move expected to save over $170000 annually in maintenance costs.
