On the evening of 03-05-2018, the Victoria Bluff neighborhood was struck with numerous car break-ins. A resident of the neighborhood, who is also a victim, captured a male and female subject on video, entering their vehicle. The homeowner provided the video to law enforcement but they also released the video on social media. The Beaufort County Sheriff’s Office received a credible tip identifying the two subjects as Taylor Cooper and Collin McGovern. Interviews were conducted resulting in investigators obtaining and executing a search warrant at McGovern’s residence on Friday, March 9, 2018. As a result of the search warrant, several items were recovered that were reported stolen from the car break-ins. Arrest Warrants were obtained for both McGovern and Cooper for Breaking Into a Motor Vehicle and they both surrendered themselves to law enforcement on 03-12-18. Both have been charged with six counts of Breaking Into a Motor Vehicle.
