Two Suspects Arrested in Connection With North Charleston Home Invasion, Authorities Say
I’ve seen my share of crime reports over the years, but what unfolded Tuesday afternoon in North Charleston felt especially tense. You’ve got two suspects forcing their way into a home, one of them refusing to come out, and the entire neighborhood locked down while a SWAT team surrounds the scene. It wasn’t just another police call—it was a full-blown standoff on a quiet street.
It started around 12:45 p.m. on Honeylocust Lane. That’s when North Charleston Police say they got a call about a possible home invasion. Officers rushed over, caught one suspect pretty quickly, but the second refused to surrender. That turned a routine arrest into a drawn-out negotiation, with police drones flying overhead, gas canisters deployed, and neighbors told to stay inside.
By the time it ended—about 3:15 p.m.—both suspects were in custody. No injuries reported, thankfully. But the fear? The tension? That stays with people…
