The following incidents were obtained from Goose Creek Police reports:
• Goose Creek police are searching for an 18-year-old Summerville man who may be involved in a bank fraud.
An employee of First Federal of Charleston called GCPD to report that the man opened an account at First Federal in Goose Creek. He then presented a check, which had been reported stolen, for $250, depositing $50 into his account and keeping the rest. He withdrew the remaining $50 the next day.
GCPD has surveillance video of the man conducting those transactions and investigators will be drafting a warrant for his arrest.
• A woman reported that she returned to her residence in the Hamlets subdivision after a business meeting and discovered her diamond ring missing. She said she tried to find it in her residence but could not. The ring is worth more than $8,000.
She said her son and his fiancé had been visiting earlier and she had shown them the ring, but when she asked them about it, they did not know anything about it and seemed genuinely concerned that it had gone missing. She said she has no reason to believe they may have taken the ring and declined to pursue charges or a follow up investigation at this time.
• An officer responding to a call on Fox Chase Drive about a hit and run met with several area residents, who told the officer a subject driving a black Ford Explorer had just hit a vehicle and was now in the cul de sac. The officer was directed to a residence where witnesses said the driver had run; he was met by another person who identified the driver and said he had come into the home saying his car had been hit. When the subject saw the officer’s vehicle, he took off running on foot.?The officer then met with the initial complainant/victim, who said he was in an upstairs room of his residence when he felt the house shake. He went outside to find that his 2004 Cadillac Escalade had been hit along with his garage door and the brick wall surrounding the garage.
The officer will prepare arrest warrants for the subject and the case is under investigation.
