Reports taken from Jan. 10 to Jan. 11

Next time, try flowers

Several men reportedly broke into a North Charleston woman’s apartment on Jan. 10, stealing a PlayStation 4 and $100 cash after she turned one of the men down for a date, according to North Charleston police. We know getting turned down can sting, but if this is his plan to change her mind, maybe next time the unlucky guy should just get her some flowers.

Double jeopardy or something

Employees at a Northwoods Boulevard department store on Jan. 11 confronted a man for stealing a shirt and attempting to wear it out of the building. North Charleston police reportedly searched the man, finding several stolen items from a second nearby store. The man was banned from both stores, and given a citation for shoplifting.

Have you seen the rates?

North Charleston police on Jan. 11 busted three people for reportedly staying in an Arco Lane hotel room without paying. Property managers said they noticed the three enter the room which was meant to be vacant. The three were banned from the hotel, but honestly, can you blame them? Getting a hotel room in Charleston is outrageous these days. 

Must be the video games

A North Charleston woman on Jan. 10 told North Charleston Police that the man she had asked to watch her kids punched a hole in her 65-inch TV while she was at work. She noted that the babysitter had in the past kicked down her door and broken other items of furniture, but this time he went too far.
