Reports taken from Dec. 2 to Dec. 15
Predictable packaging
Charleston police on Dec. 2 pulled over a car being driven by a West Ashley man near Savage Road for having an expired tag. While searching the vehicle, police found about 2 grams of marijuana in a Rick and Morty package. Yeah, honestly, that checks out. Officers let the man off with a warning for the drugs and suspended tag.
Just lookin’
A North Charleston man on Dec. 15 told police that someone broke into his vehicle while it was parked overnight at a Prospect Drive hotel. The man said his center console, glove box and an Amazon package in the backseat were all opened. Paperwork was strewn about the vehicle, but nothing was taken. Guess the not-thief was just window shopping for that perfect Christmas gift.
Waiting for our invite
Two North Charleston men on Dec. 7 reportedly stole $1,500 in ribs, shrimp and crab legs (which we imagine is a lot of food) from a Dorchester Road grocery store’s meat department. Security footage captured the pair fleeing through the rear produce prep doors and driving away in a Honda Accord, presumably to get ready for what we expect to be a top-tier Christmas party.
Not even our second choice
A North Charleston woman on Dec. 13 reportedly stole a Dr. Pepper and Little Debbie snack cake from an Ashley Phosphate Road convenience store. The store manager told city police that the total value of stolen merchandise was about $7, which of course, makes this a very pressing matter. Our priority though — why Dr. Pepper? Were they all out of … anything else?
