The Summerville Police Department is investigating the reported theft of a vehicle that occurred early March 7 on Alred Street in Summerville.

According to the incident report, officers were dispatched shortly after midnight to the police department to meet with a complainant regarding a stolen 2016 gray Ford Fusion. The vehicle had reportedly been parked at a residence on 33 Alred Street while the owner’s son was visiting a friend.

Police say the vehicle’s driver told officers he arrived at the residence around 10 p.m. and discovered the car missing when he returned around 11:50 p.m. He reportedly told investigators the vehicle had been left unlocked with the key inside, believing nothing would happen to it.

Authorities say several items were inside the vehicle when it was taken, including about $300 in cash, a wallet, a vehicle key, a backpack in the trunk, and Apple AirPods inside the backpack.

Police confirmed the vehicle had not been repossessed, and a BOLO (Be On the Lookout) alert was issued to surrounding agencies while the vehicle information was entered into the statewide database.

The investigation remains ongoing.
