Hanahan High Search Nets Knives, Ammunition

Vehicle searches this week at Hanahan High School netted several sharp objects, ammunition and some empty beer cans.

Due to recent complaints of illegal drugs on campus, Hanahan Police put a K-9 unit to work on Wednesday in the student parking lot, sniffing around vehicles for anything suspicious.

Cars that caught the dog's attention didn't turn up anything illegal, but there were a few confiscated items.

The search of one vehicle turned up a .32 caliber bullet and a steak knife in the center console.

Empty beer cans were found in the truck bed of one vehicle. A search of the truck by school administrators also revealed a machete under the driver's seat and a small pocket knife in the glove compartment.

Another truck was searched after empty beer cans were found in the back. Ammunition for a shotgun and a rifle were found throughout the vehicle and confiscated.

The students violating school policy were disciplined by the administration, according to police. No criminal charges were filed.
