Summerville Police are investigating the theft of a vehicle that was reported missing from a residence early Sunday morning.

According to a Summerville Police Department incident report, Officer J. Pledger was dispatched at approximately 9:34 AM on Sunday, September 6, after Connie Bramlett reported that her vehicle had been stolen.

Bramlett told police she discovered the vehicle missing when she attempted to leave her residence that morning. She said a neighbor had last seen the vehicle at approximately 4 AM.

Police described the stolen vehicle as a black Ford EcoSport Titanium with dings in various areas. Bramlett told officers she was unsure whether the vehicle was locked when it was taken.

According to the report, officers spoke with neighbors and determined the vehicle was still outside the residence at approximately 4 AM. A neighbor reported hearing a vehicle with no muffler at around 5:30 AM, leading police to believe the Ford was taken sometime between 4 and 5:30 AM.

Police checked the vehicle identification number and obtained the vehicle’s tag information. A BOLO — Be On the Lookout — was issued to the Chattooga County Sheriff’s Office, Trion City Police Department and surrounding counties.

The officer later attempted to locate the vehicle but was unsuccessful. The vehicle information was entered into GCIC.

The investigation remains ongoing.
