Mount Pleasant, S.C. - On January 16, 2019, at approximately 5:17 a.m., officers responded to the 1100 block of Stockade Lane in reference to a collision involving one vehicle. Upon arrival, officers found that a light pole had been struck by a 2013 Ford Focus. Officers did not locate any occupants at the scene. A check of the license plate revealed that the car was stolen out of Georgetown, S.C. A perimeter was set up and a K-9 unit was called for. An officer on the perimeter spoke to two people who directed him to two subjects sitting in the lobby of the Holiday Inn Express on Stockade Lane.
