Today's riddle: What did one strawberry say to the other strawberry? 🤔 (Answer below!)
1. Police continue search for Myrtle Beach bank robbery suspect as new details emerge (myhorrynews.com) — Horry County Police are still searching for a man who robbed the Conway National Bank on North Kings Highway in Myrtle Beach Friday morning. Investigators say the suspect handed a teller a threatening note, left with cash through the rear door, and may have left fingerprints on the counter and door handle as witnesses saw him nearby on foot.
2. Trump pledges federal funding for I-73 during Myrtle Beach visit (wmbfnews.com) — During a Myrtle Beach visit, former President Donald Trump said the federal government would ensure funding for Interstate 73, a long-discussed highway that would directly connect to the Grand Strand. Local leaders say I-73 could boost tourism, improve hurricane evacuations, ease traffic, and make the Myrtle Beach area more attractive to new businesses, though state officials haven't confirmed new funding yet.
3. Surfside Beach Police Department K-9 officer officially retires after 264 deployments (wbtw.com) — Myrtle Beach officers frequently relied on Surfside Beach K-9 Sif, a chocolate Lab who just retired after 264 deployments helping track suspects, find missing people, and detect drugs across the Grand Strand. Community members and fellow officers celebrated her service at Surfside Beach Pier as her handler, Sgt. Robert Pinto, officially adopted her and described how she'll trade strict working rules for couch time, yard play, and life as a family pet.
4. Trump issues new threats to Canada as trade war escalates (pbs.org) — Myrtle Beach briefly enters the spotlight here as the site of a recent Trump speech, but the main story is his threat to slap 50% tariffs on Canadian autos, parts, and steel starting next year. For local residents, the piece matters less for the photo dateline and more for how a deepening U.S.-Canada trade fight could ripple through car prices, jobs, and the broader economy.
