The Halifax County Sheriff's Office reports on Sunday deputies responded to the Edgewater Community on a breaking and entering call. Lt. Bobby Martin said in a news release once Sgt. Randy Keeton arrived on the scene he talked with the victim, who told the sergeant he and a friend were asleep when they heard a knock at the door. They did not get up at first until the knocking got louder. The two victims got up and went to the bathroom when they heard the door come crashing open and the subjects rambling through his belongings. Martin said the victim told investigators he confronted the subjects by firing a handgun he keeps in his home for protection. The two subjects ran out of the house and got into a pickup truck and fled the scene. The victim did fire shots at the getaway vehicle. During the burglary a pump shotgun was the only item taken. No one was injured and the sheriff’s office continues to investigate. Anyone with information is encouraged to call Halifax County Crimestoppers at 583-4444.
