Serial Burglar Accused of Targeting Women Who Were Home Alone, Police Say
Investigators say surveillance and a tip identified Terron Banks, who faces four burglary charges and scrutiny in five similar cases.
- On Oct. 22, deputies arrested Terron Banks, 25, at a Spartanburg County bus station as he prepared to board a bus to Atlanta, facing four counts of first-degree burglary, one count of grand larceny, and one count of voyeurism.
- The Greenville County Sheriff's Office investigation began Oct. 16 after forensic units identified a pattern of nighttime break-ins targeting homes where women were alone, with Ring camera footage helping detectives identify Banks as a suspect.
- In September, Banks allegedly entered multiple apartments on Assembly View Circle, including one where he stole a woman's cellphone and sent himself photos from her gallery, while fleeing during other attempted break-ins when residents woke.
- Investigators are examining five additional cases involving sexual misconduct in the same area, with authorities awaiting DNA testing from the South Carolina Law Enforcement Division to determine whether Banks may be connected to those incidents.
- Sheriff Hobart Lewis urged potential victims to come forward, saying investigators take reports seriously. "I don't want a rapist running loose in our county," Lewis said, emphasizing the ongoing investigation's critical importance.
