Three men have been arrested after a man walked in on them committing a burglary, according to Sheriff Jim Matthews.

Tyler Glenn Kennington, 19, of Camden, Richard Thomas Morgan, 21, of Bethune, and Jonathan William Ray, 20, of Cassatt, have all been charged with second degree burglary, Matthews said.

Deputies were called to a home on White Street in Camden around 5 p.m. Saturday when a relative of the homeowner walked in on the three men as well as another unidentified man burglarizing the home, Matthews said.

Deputies set up a perimeter and called the bloodhound team to the scene, Matthews said. Deputies were able to apprehend three of the four suspects just before the bloodhound team arrived.

Investigators are working to identify the fourth suspect, Matthews said. All three suspects are being held at the Kershaw County Detention Center while they await a bond hearing.
