Man arrested in connection to a series of northern Beaufort County burglaries

BEAUFORT COUNTY, S.C. (WTOC) - 27-year-old Dante Doray Capers was arrested in connection to a series of residential burglaries that happened in northern Beaufort County.

Liquor, power tools, firearms, and other valuables, were among the items reported stolen according to law enforcement.

The Beaufort County Sheriff’s Office said this remains an active and ongoing investigation, and additional charges are likely.
