Early this morning, North Charleston Police Department (NCPD) officers quickly arrested two juveniles in connection with a series of vehicle break-ins.

Officers responded to the Mixon Flats community after receiving reports of three males wearing hoodies pulling on car doors, looking into vehicles, and checking behind houses. Officers entered the area and began searching. One subject was located and detained, and officers discovered items in his possession that belonged to another individual.

Video footage obtained from the incident location confirmed the identity of the suspect as matching the description provided by a witness. Further investigation revealed the suspects had traveled to Mixon Flats from the Charleston Farms community. City cameras confirmed sightings of the same individuals at Sumner and Buskirk at approximately 2:57 a.m., and again at Mixon and East Montague at approximately 4:21 a.m.

The search area was expanded, and two officers located a second subject walking near Sumner and Buskirk. Both juveniles were linked to breaking into vehicles. Both were charged with Breaking and Entering into Autos. They were taken to the Charleston County Juvenile Detention Center.

The case is still under active investigation, and it's likely that more charges will be filed in the future. If you think you may have been affected by this incident, please reach out to us through our CRIMEWATCH app, and a detective will be in touch to gather more details.
