LEE COUNTY, S.C. — Lee County deputies are asking for the public's help to identify two people connected to a church burglary.

Deputies say at least two people were involved in the burglary at Mt. Pleasant AME Church in Lynchburg on Sunday.

Officials say at least two people entered the church parking lot around 5 p.m. on Sunday, April 12. One male exited a vehicle, and later a female can be seen driving the same vehicle as the male rides off with the church's riding lawn mower. Deputies say the male broke into the outside storage shed just out of view of the camera.
