The following reports were collected from local law enforcement offices:
The manager of the Georgetown CVS called police Dec. 6 after workers found an empty digital camera box.
A review of the surveillance camera footage shows three men entering the store the previous day and one of them is seen bending down over the place where the empty box was found.
However, because of the angle, the camera did not record the man opening the box.
“The other two parties were seen on the video acting as lookouts,” the report states.
No one has been arrested.
Domestic stalking
A Murrells Inlet woman said her estranged husband broke into her home at about 1:30 a.m. Dec. 7 and threw her on a bed and started choking her.
She said she was able to escape and ran to her car and drove away but her husband started following her.
She pulled at the Island Bar off of Highway 17 Bypass and honked her horn to try to get people’s attention.
When that did not scare her husband away, she drove to a nearby gas station and that’s when the suspect walked up to her car, pulled the window down and head butted her.
The woman sped away and drove to a friend’s house and called 911.
Outdoor urination
While on patrol at the Fish Hole on Fuzzy Drive, a deputy saw a 39-year-old man urinating near the front door.
“When asked why he did not use the inside bathrooms, he stated they were blocked by officers and we scared him so bad he had to go immediately,” the report states.
He was given a ticket for disorderly conduct and was released.
Multiple car breakins
Several vehicles parked in Wachesaw Plantation East were broken into Dec. 3. Most of the incidents occurred on Fringetree Drive and Tee Box Trail.
Five people reported the breakins.
Altogether, nearly $2,700 worth of cash, clothing, electronics and tools were taken from the different vehicles.
Investigators were given some information about possible suspects but no arrest has been made.
Wet awakening
A 31-year-old Andrews woman said she was asleep on a couch Dec. 3 when her boyfriend woke her up by throwing water on her face.
Her then started calling her names which led to an argument.
She said he never threatened her but she called 911 because she was mad he took $500 from her.
The woman was told the money issue was a civil matter.
The man said he threw the water on the woman because she would not wake up when he called her.
Intimidation
While driving home from work Dec. 2, a 35-year-old Pawleys Island woman saw she was being followed. She said she made a couple of turns and then onto Martin Luther King Road and she was still being followed.
When the woman pulled in her driveway, the man who was driving the car behind her stopped and yelled at her.
He said she better watch what she is doing and be careful. He also said she “better watch her back.”
The woman said she did not know the man or recognize the car. She gave deputies the license tag number and the car is registered to a Pawleys Island man.
