Reports taken from Sept. 14 to Sept. 21
Game plan
Four people on Sept. 15 are believed to have executed a coordinated plot to steal the highest value items they could think of — a couple of 12-packs of Twisted Tea from a Wildcat Boulevard gas station, according to Charleston police. The nefarious plan involved a getaway driver, two distractions and finally the thief himself, who was reported to have grabbed the two cases of spiked tea before hoofing it to the arranged pick-up spot in the nearby woods. What a getaway.
Dangerous path
A North Charleston woman on Sept. 30 reportedly hurled a paving stone from the ground through her (now ex-) boyfriend’s truck windshield after he broke up with her. The man reported the vandalism to North Charleston police after the woman left with the rest of her belongings. We guess this is a reminder to check your surroundings before you break up with someone — or at least hide your vehicle.
Party poopers
Charleston police broke up at least three college parties between Sept. 27 and Sept. 28, according to reports, after receiving noise complaints from neighbors — or in one case, after seeing a crowd of more than 100 college-age people gathered outside of a Reid Street residence with red solo cups. For those hosting the parties next time, you can deliver invites to our East Bay Street office.
A strange follow-up
A North Charleston man on Sept. 30 reportedly stole a pressure washer hose from a restaurant on Resolute Way. According to a police report, the same man presumably stole about $500 worth of food from the restaurant’s outdoor freezer a few weeks ago. We understand wanting to go back to a restaurant if you enjoyed the food, but going back for a pressure washer hose isn’t the “try something new” we expected.
