Young is considered armed and dangerous and should not be approached, Denis said.

Shortly after midnight Thursday, police responded to a report of people selling narcotics on Granny’s Lane in Racepath, Denis said.

When the suspects – who were standing near two vehicles – saw police they ran away on foot, and officers were able to apprehend Simmons and Green near the area, the police report said. Police are still searching for Young, who also fled.

While investigating the suspects and vehicles officers found two stolen handguns, distribution quantities of crack cocaine and heroin and marijuana packaged for distribution, the report said. One of the vehicles near the suspects was also reported stolen, Denis said.

Simmons is being held at J. Reuben Detention Center on a $25,800 bond, according to jail records. Green is also being held at the jail and awaiting bond, according to jail records.

Anyone who has information about Young’s whereabouts is asked to call Horry County police at 843-915-8477.
