Investigators said the man shown in the released images is believed to have been involved in that case. Anyone who recognizes him is asked to contact Sgt. Chatlosh by email at [email protected] or by phone at 843-665-3191.
A second case, identified as 2026-002621, involves another alleged shoplifting incident reported one day earlier, on April 12, 2026.
Police said that case took place at Home Depot, located at 3051 W. Radio Drive. Investigators are asking residents to review the published photo and reach out if they can identify the subject. Information related to that investigation can be shared with Lcpl. Dickerson at [email protected] or by calling 843-665-3191.
In both cases, the department is relying on the public to help close the gap between surveillance images and a confirmed identity. These requests are often a key step in investigations, especially when officers believe someone in the community may recognize a face, a pattern, or a detail that helps break a case open.
