The Beaufort County Sheriff’s Office has arrested Dante Doray Capers, 27, of Burton, in connection to a series of residential burglaries that occurred in northern Beaufort County.
On March 25, 2026, Capers was taken into custody on four counts of burglary, 1st degree.
The charges stem from an investigation into multiple burglaries that took place over a three-day period from January 31 through February 2, 2026. During that time, at least nine homes were broken into in areas ranging from Lady’s Island to St. Helena Island.
In each case, suspects unlawfully entered the residences, rummaged through personal property, and caused damage. Items reported stolen include liquor, power tools, firearms, and other valuables.
Surveillance footage from several of the affected homes captured images of the suspects, which assisted investigators in advancing the case.
This remains an active and ongoing investigation, and additional charges are likely.
Anyone with information related to these burglaries is encouraged to contact the investigator, Cpl. Phillips, at 843-255-3430. Anonymous tips can also be submitted through Crime Stoppers of Beaufort County via the P3 Tips app, online at TipsBFT.com or by calling 844-TIPSBFT.
