Reports taken from July 26 to Aug. 15
At least he was polite
A West Ashley gas station employee on July 26 told police that a man wearing a black ski mask tore down a display case for nicotine vapes and took several. The man then came back in, grabbed more and told the employee, “Thank you,” before leaving again. Well, you can’t say he didn’t mind his manners.
On brand
North Charleston police on Aug. 15 stopped a gray Honda Civic near the corner of Rivers and Verde avenues for driving with its high beams on. Officers then smelled marijuana coming from the vehicle, and the occupants admitted to keeping their weed in two Rick and Morty bags. Come on guys, at least TRY to be subtle.
Nice try …?
A Mount Pleasant man on Aug. 9 reportedly purchased several “high-dollar” items at different stores by manually entering credit card numbers he read from his cell phone, according to various employees. When the sales went through, he refunded the purchases all to the same credit card. Scam? Probably. Town police are investigating.
Just kept getting worse
A North Charleston woman on Aug. 14 reportedly became “belligerent” while digging through the trash at a City Hall Lane hotel. Police said she began throwing trash at the hotel manager before they arrived, when she then started screaming and threatening officers’ lives. She was arrested pretty quickly after that.
BOLO
A West Ashley construction site was apparently robbed as workers showed up on Aug. 14 to find all of the site’s welding equipment missing. The site manager told police it was worth between $50,000 and $60,000. Well, the good news is it should be easy to find the culprit — surely they can’t resist welding some stuff with all their fancy new gear.
