Two charged in thefts of vehicles
A Hartsville man and a Florence man have been arrested after an investigation of stolen vehicles in Darlington County.
Matthew Glen Tyndall, 26, of Hartsville, and Joshua Charlton Holladay, 26, of Florence, were arrested Feb. 26, Sheriff Tony Chavis said in a statement.
Tyndall is charged with grand larceny, operation of a chop shop and three counts of receiving stolen goods. Holladay is charged with receiving stolen goods.
“My investigators continuously arrest Tyndall for theft-related crimes, but he refuses to quit,” said Chavis. “Matt, until you quit or go to prison, there will always be a place for you at my jail.”
Investigators allege the duo were in possession of multiple stolen vehicles and were attempting to change vehicle identification plates on the vehicles to disguise them as not stolen.
According to investigators, the duo attempted to sell one vehicle and did sell a 1996 Toyota Camry to an area metal recycling company for $187.
Tyndall was being held on a $95,000 bond for charges related to this most recent investigation. Tyndall received an additional $40,000 bond for a probation violation. Holladay was released on a personal recognizance bond.
