NORTH CHARLESTON, S.C. (WCBD)- We’re continuing our coverage on a story we’ve been following since last July.
Residents in a gated North Charleston community are experiencing several car break-ins, leaving some questioning the neighborhood’s security.
Thieves struck again in Coosaw Creek, the suspects caught on camera early Monday morning.
It’s an issue the neighborhood dealt with last summer as well, with residents questioning how it’s possible especially since the neighborhood is manned by a guard 24/7.
“I feel like, and my husband says this all the time, but we have a false sense of security, especially with a guard,” Coosaw resident, Lauren Clouse said.
Clouse says since seeing the surveillance video, she plans to clear her garage and park there overnight.
Clouse said, “It is a great reminder because we often feel like we can just walk in our house and I never lived that way until I lived in a gated community.”
As for how the criminals bypassed the guard North Charleston police tell me there are several possibilities.
