Suspect sought in Daniel Island pharmacy burglary

DANIEL ISLAND, SC (WCSC)- Investigators are on the lookout for a suspect who burglarized a pharmacy on Daniel Island.

The Charleston Police Department says the burglary happened at the Delta Pharmacy Medical Supply on 162 Seven Farms Dr.

Around 3:51 a.m. on Monday, officers responded to the pharmacy in reference to a burglary. When officers arrived they noticed that the right front door glass was broken. Two witness told police that they heard a loud boom and bang then saw someone leaving the pharmacy.

The witnesses, who were vendors waiting for the store to open, say the suspect was wearing blue jeans, a red hoodie and white gloves, but were unable to determine the gender or race since the subject was heavily covered.

The suspect then left in a red Volkswagen Beetle which had been parked by the Coastal Dry Cleaners which is directly across from the pharmacy.

Showers likely to start the week

LOWCOUNTRY (WCSC) - Showers and storms are likely to pop up on Monday, says Live 5 Meteorologist Chad Watson:

Morning clouds have broken up enough to let some sunshine through across much of the coast. Temperatures were already in the low 70s and with a south breeze and some sun, we should have no problem hitting the lower 80s by this afternoon. Showers and storms are in the forecast today and could really pop up at any time. We expect the best coverage across the region later this afternoon into the evening as the sun heats us up. Rain chances are around 60% into the overnight hours. Keep an umbrella handy...just in case!
