Reports taken from April 24-27
A trail of cheese-crumbs
A downtown woman on April 26 returned to a vacant home she was renovating to find her $1,500 TV apparently stolen. Several “cheesy puff balls” and empty soda bottles were scattered about the living room and back bedroom. Police noted it appeared as though someone had slept in the house overnight, as more cheese puffs were found crushed in a comforter.
Don’t they give you a map?
Charleston police on April 24 arrested a suspected drunken man wearing a bright Hawaiian shirt and driving a gray pickup around a Savannah Highway gas station parking lot. Listen, we get it. It’s so easy to get lost on those big ol’ cruise ships, but to wander that far is just plain impressive.
Not-so-clean getaway
A North Charleston man on April 27 reportedly stole five bottles of liquor with a total value of more than $300 from a Rivers Avenue liquor store. The alleged thief made a break for the front door with the bottles, jumped in his car and then struck another vehicle as he was leaving. Smooth — but we guess it worked, because the investigation is ongoing.
Inflation’s hitting everyone
Three men on April 24 reportedly stole $30 worth of chips and drinks from a downtown convenience store. Some advice for the officers, just wait at the store. They’re going to be back when they realize that’s only enough for, like, one dude nowadays.
