The Lancaster Police Department took to social media yesterday, December 2, announcing a public appeal to aid in the capture of Malcolm Eugene Belk, a man facing several accusations of theft-related crimes; as per the department's post, multiple arrest warrants had been issued including charges of grand larceny and obtaining property under false pretenses.
In their online plea, shortly named "Turn em' in Tuesday," the Lancaster PD delineated the specific warrants for Belk's arrest: including grand larceny, three counts of petit larceny, and a charge for obtaining property under false pretenses, all detailed under warrant numbers 2025A2920300395 to 2025A2920300399, local citizens were cautioned against intervening directly, urging them to contact the Lancaster Police at (803)-283-3313 with any information, instead of attempting apprehension themselves.
Following the initial call to action, Lancaster Police updated the public, confirming that as of December 1, Malcolm Belk had been successfully taken into custody, though the circumstances of his arrest were not publicly detailed, and given the nature of judicial proceedings, Belk is presumed innocent until proven guilty.
