Saturday, Feb. 11

7:10 p.m. — A woman came into headquarters and reported an unknown man had just left her residence after indicating her husband may owe him money.

The caller said the driver stated he would pay the difference after the employee ran the gift card inside. The employee said when he went inside, the car fled the scene, heading south on Bedford Road. Mount Pleasant Police were advised of the incident.
