NEWBERRY COUNTY, S.C. (WOLO) – A truck stolen by a burglary suspect on February 9 was recovered yesterday, but the search for the suspect continues, deputies say.
Toby Butlar Boyd, 43, fled on foot after being stopped driving a stolen truck and stolen camper in Newberry County on Mt. Bethel Garmany Road on February 9.
During the search for Boyd stole a 1966 blue GMC pickup truck for a resident near Keitt’s Crossroads, deputies say.
He used that truck to flee the area.
The truck was recovered Tuesday morning by the Aiken County Sheriff’s Office.
The truck was found abandoned in the parking lot of a business on Martintown Road in North Augusta and has been returned to the owner.

He has prior burglary convictions.
