The following reports were collected  from local law enforcement offices:

A man from Baskerville Road in Pawleys Island said he keeps money in his refrigerator and discovered thousands of dollars was missing Dec. 12.
The man said he believes his 75-year-old girlfriend took the cash.
He said there was supposed to be $9,000 in the fridge but when he counted it there was only $1,000.
The accused woman – who, deputies say, appeared to be “grossly intoxicated — said her boyfriend is bi-polar and “didn’t know what his problem was.”
The victim later said he decided he did not want to press charges.

$6,000 worth of cigarettes stolen
The manager of the Andrews Food Pantry met with police Dec. 10 after discovering more than $6,000 worth of cigarettes was missing from the inventory.
A video from a surveillance camera was reviewed and a man is seen taking the cigarettes and other items.
A relative of the suspect was working at the store each time one of the thefts occurred, the report states.
The woman admitted she had let the man take some items from the store without paying but said she did not know he had been taking cigarettes.


Text threats
A 17-year-old woman from Georgetown stopped by  the Sheriff’s Office Dec. 11 and showed an officer several text messages she had received from a 26-year-old Myrtle  Beach woman she knows.
The texts stated, in part:
• I am going to get you. You will wish you never met me.
• I’m going to get it where you cannot see your daughter anymore.
• Going to call Immigration on (your boyfriend)
The victim said she warned the woman to stop texting her but she continued.
She was advised to see a magistrate about the matter.

Death threat
Another case of threats was reported Dec. 8 when a 20-year-old Georgetown woman said her brother’s live-in girlfriend said she would “kill her and put her in a box.”
The threat was a result of an incident  previously.
Although it was not the first time the woman was threatened  by the suspect, she decided she would not press charges.

Unwanted ditch
Deputies responded to the 1800 block of Jackson Village Road  Dec. 11 because of a dispute between a man and his 75-year-old father.
The younger man said when he returned home from work he saw there had been a ditch dug at the edge of his driveway making it impossible to drive his car in his yard.
He said his father dug the ditch.
The officer spoke with the man’s father who admitted digging the ditch.
He said he “owned the property and his son didn’t pay rent so he could did a ditch anywhere he wanted on his property,” the report states.
The deputy told him he could not dig a hole that would  keep his son off the property.
His son was told to see a magistrate about his options.

Vandals spotted
A woman who lives on Park Ave. in Andrews called Andrews police Dec. 6 and said she was watching two male juveniles spray painting the CSX building across from her home.
She said she yelled at them to stop but they ignored her and continued the vandalism.
Police  say they received another call from someone who identified the alleged vandals. That caller said the two were bragging about what they did.
Officers contacted the uncle of one of the suspects who said he was not surprised his nephew was allegedly involved. He said his nephew has stolen money and whiskey from him recently.

Vehicle damaged
A woman from Laurie Street in Andrews walked outside her home Dec. 9 and saw someone had thrown a rock through one of the windows on her Toyota Camry.
Damage is estimated at $200.
