A manager of Walgreens in Georgetown talked to police about fraudulent checks written to the store by a customer.

She said the suspect, a 48-year-old Georgetown woman, wrote six bad checks in late December.

Police confirmed the account from which the checks were written had been closed since April.

Charges are likely.

Purse taken

A 33-year-old woman said she was at a home in Harris Landing Road Jan. 5 when her purse was stolen from her vehicle. She said EMS had to respond to the residence and her car was in the way, so she let a man she knows move the vehicle.

She believes he is the one who took the purse because earlier in the evening he had asked her to borrow some money.

Obscene calls

Deputies were sent to a home on Egret Run Road in Pawleys Island Jan. 6 where a woman said she had received some disturbing phone calls.

The 20-year-old woman said at about 12:50 a.m. she received a call from an unknown male who was making “obscene and sexual remarks.”

The woman said it sounded as if the man was committing a sex act while he was talking.

The woman said she has filed reports previously about an alleged stalker and fears this could be the same person.

Laptop theft

A $600 laptop computer, given to a Kensington woman as a Christmas gift was stolen from her home Jan. 8.

The woman said she left the computer charging up next to her TV while she was at work. She said it was gone when she returned home.

The woman said her cousin and one of his friends were in her home while she was at work. She believes her cousin’s friend took the laptop, although she told deputies she has no proof to back up her claim.

Theft from vehicle

A pack of cigarettes, $10 in cash and some lottery tickets were taken from inside a vehicle on Fringe Tree Drive in Wachesaw East Jan. 9.

There was also a satellite radio in the truck that was not taken.

While the deputy was taking the report he received a call about other vehicles in that neighborhood being broken into.

Six dollars in change was taken from one vehicle and nothing was taken from two other vehicles, although they were damaged.

Weapon on campus

The Carvers Bay High School met with a 15-year-old student Jan. 7 after receiving a report that student may have a gun in his possession.

The officer was about to pat the student down and asked if he had a weapon and he responded he had a knife.

The knife was taken from his pocket and no gun was ever found.

He was charged with having a weapon on school property.

Stolen gas

Someone stole 20 gallons of gas from a maintenance area of the River Club in Pawleys Island Jan. 8.

A worker said it’s believed the thief got onto the property by squeezing through a gate.

The preceding reports, compiled by Scott Harper, were collected  from local law enforcement offices.
