FCSO NEEDS YOUR HELP IN IDENTIFYING A SUSPECT IN VEHICLE THEFT
Investigators with the Florence County Sheriff’s Office need your help in identifying a suspect in a vehicle theft. On Saturday, June 1, 2019 at approximately 3:30 PM, the suspect broke into the service area of a car dealership located at 3704 East Palmetto Street, Florence, SC and stole a new 2019 silver Kia Sorento. A Florence County Sheriff’s deputy in the area shortly after the theft occurred spotted the vehicle and attempted to conduct a traffic stop, but the suspect led the deputy on a pursuit into Darlington County. Ultimately, the pursuit was called off.
The subject, whose image was captured on the dealership’s video surveillance camera is attached. The suspect appears to be a white male with blond or reddish blond hair and a beard or goatee, and appears to be wearing blue and white plaid shirt, blue jeans and white tennis shoes. Deputies also believe that this suspect may be associated with a black in color late model 5.0 liter Mustang with dark rims.
Anyone with knowledge or information regarding the identity or whereabouts of the suspect or either vehicle referenced above is asked to contact FCSO Investigators at (843) 665-2121, ext. 360, Crime Stoppers of the Pee Dee at 1-888-CRIME-SC or “Submit-A-Tip” on the FCSO free app for I-Phone and Android telephones.
