The victims complied and the suspects fled, possibly in a gray car. Officer C. Garner is investigating.
THEFT OF WHEELS: On Jan. 18, officers responded to the 6900 block of Heather Drive in Bryans Road for the report of stolen wheels. The victim advised he posted four chrome wheels for sale on Craigslist and got a response. He stated the suspect came by his home early in the day and indicated he was interested in the tires but that he would get back to the victim later. The victim left his house and when he returned he found the wheels had been stolen. Based on additional information, officers are looking into the possibility that the person who responded to the ad was also the person who stole the wheels. The CCSO is reminding people to take precautions when selling items. If you advertise something for sale, try to meet a potential buyer at a public location and bring a friend with you. If that's not practical, try to keep records of the name and phone number of the person calling and call the person back to confirm your meeting. If possible, try to jot down the tag number of the car the buyer is driving. PFC K. Burger is investigating.
