OCONEE CO., SC (WSPA) - Deputies in Oconee County are asking people to be vigilant after a threat was made against churches in the county.

According to the Oconee County Sheriff's Office, a juvenile made a threat to "harm a nonspecific church by the use of a firearm" on social media.

Investigators say the social media post was made last week and deputies were made aware on Tuesday.

The Oconee County Sheriff's Office, Westminster Police Department, SLED, and the FBI are investigating the threat.

Investigators say they believe the threat is for a certain area but no specific people or churches were named.

The sheriff's office says they have made adjustments to their patrols to ensure safety of the community.

“We encourage all houses of worship to be proactive when it comes to safety and security," said Sheriff Mike Crenshaw. "We will be glad to speak with any church representatives in our county about steps they can take to increase security at their church.”

If you see or hear anything abnormal are worship services or church activities, you are asked to call the Oconee County Sheriff's Office at 864-638-4111.

People can leave anonymous tips by calling Crime Stoppers at 864-638-7867 or 888-CRIME-SC.
