It’s a story of crime and deception that has shaken the very foundations of Bamberg’s small-town charm. In a daring heist, thieves made off with a printing press, valued at $10,000 or more, from the Herald building on Main Street. The press, equipped with a state-of-the-art linotype machine, cylinder press, and folder, was the heart of the local newspaper’s operation, churning out the Bamberg Herald every Thursday for the past 20 years. The theft is believed to have occurred sometime between the last edition of the paper and the next scheduled printing, leaving a trail of unanswered questions.
