Reports taken from Dec. 2 to Dec. 8
Stop while you’re ahead
A downtown woman on Dec. 3 reportedly stole a bottle of wine from a King Street grocery store — for the eighth time in the last two months. According to police, her method involved taking the bottle into the bathroom, emptying it into another container and leaving the empty wine bottle inside. Authorities say she would have gotten away with it the eighth time, too — if not for those meddling security cameras.
Just kid stuff
Mount Pleasant police on Dec. 8 responded to a Long Point Road complex after getting a call about a kid wearing a chef’s outfit and holding a yellow toy gun hiding behind a dumpster. Police were unable to find him. The caller told officers that he never spoke to the kid, and didn’t really get a good look at him, but was adamant that police check it out. Good look on your mission, buddy. Sounds like it’s not going to rise.
Well that’s ironic!
North Charleston police on Dec. 4 investigated an apparent break-in at a Delhi Road home after the owner called about unknown people being inside with food, drinks and drugs. When police arrived, they saw damage to the living room wall and kitchen window. Several security cameras were also stolen. (Imagine that.) The investigation is ongoing.
Pretty vacant
A downtown woman on Dec. 5 called Charleston police about suspicious noises coming from the “vacant” upstairs apartment. Police investigated and found one woman who told officers she was “trying to move furniture.” A quick search also revealed a man hiding in one of the bedroom closets. Anyone know where we can leave a review of their moving company?
