Sheriff McVicker said his deputies set up a license checking station on Twisted Hickory road near Spivey Currie Drive near the Bladen and Columbus county lines at approximately 2:30 Sunday morning.
McVicker said when one vehicle saw the check point the driver turned around and fled. Deputies pursued the vehicle a short distance and the driver abandoned the vehicle and fled on foot. An AR 15 rifle was left in the vehicle and after checking the serial numbers the officers determined the gun was reported stolen from Columbus County. Deputies seized the weapon and the vehicle.
McVicker said a short time later another vehicle tried to avoid the check station by pulling into a driveway of a residence. Deputies located two stolen semi-automatic handguns, a concealed handgun and over $6,000.00 in cash. Both handguns were also reported stolen from Columbus County.
