Police Arrest Woman Wanted in Crime Spree in Richland, Lexington Counties

A woman wanted in connection with a string of crimes including car break-ins and credit card fraud in both Richland and Lexington counties was arrested this week.

Brandilyn Nicole Kersey is being held at the Alvin S. Glenn Detention Center after authorities found her at a home in Columbia, according to a report from The State.

Kersey faces several charges filed by law enforcement agencies in Irmo, Forest Acres and Columbia. Those charges include giving false information, fraud, receiving stolen goods, forgery and illegal banking. 

The Irmo Police Department issued warrants for Kersey's arrest earlier this month on the charges of bank fraud, forgery and possession of stolen goods.  

Authorities say Kersey is part of a group police have nicknamed the Felony-Lane Gang because of their use of bank drive-through lanes that are furthest away from the teller’s window so it's difficult for the teller to see their faces, according to the report.
