The Sheriff's Office continues to investigate a home invasion that occurred on Hilda Avenue, Lady's Island early yesterday morning. During the incident, victims reported that multiple unknown subjects entered their home and demanded property and cash. After taking the property and cash, the subjects fled in the victims' 2014 GMC pickup truck.

As it was not immediately located, Sheriff's Office deputies listed the  GMC pickup truck in the National Crime Information Center (NCIC) as stolen. Details about the home invasion and the description of the stolen pickup truck were released through NIXLE, local media outlets—print and television—and social media throughout the day yesterday and last night.  

After watching a newscast about the home invasion and stolen GMC pickup truck last night, a citizen recalled seeing a truck matching its description parked/abandoned on Dolly Lane, Lady's Island and called the Sheriff's Office. After the call was received, deputies were dispatched to Dolly Lane and confirmed that it was in fact the stolen pickup truck. The truck was examined and processed for forensic evidence—fingerprints and DNA—then towed from Dolly Lane. The subjects were not located and have yet to be identified.

Anyone with information regarding the home invasion is encouraged to contact the Sheriff's Office at 843-524-2777 or Crimestoppers 1-888-CrimeSC if wishing to remain anonymous and for possible reward. The Sheriff's office would like to thank the citizen who called and reported the location of the stolen pickup truck last night.
