Someone walked into Rextreme LLC on Sunset Boulevard, grabbed a set of keys sitting inside the business, and used them to drive off with a gray 2019 Buick Envision parked outside. Now Lexington police are asking the public to help identify the person responsible and to help track down the missing car.
According to the Lexington Ledger, the break-in happened on November 8 at Rextreme LLC, located at 5001 Sunset Boulevard in Lexington, South Carolina. Investigators say the individual broke into the business, removed the keys from inside, and then used them to take the Buick straight from the company's parking lot.
The Lexington Police Department has released an image of the individual wanted in connection with the break-in and vehicle theft, and is asking anyone who recognizes the person to come forward. Detectives are also still trying to pin down where the stolen Buick Envision might have ended up.
What Investigators Are Asking For
Beyond identifying the person in the released image, police say they want information about the Buick's whereabouts. Anyone with information about the case, or who saw suspicious activity near Rextreme LLC around the time of the break-in, is asked to contact investigators directly rather than wait for the case to develop further on its own.

How This Case Fits Into Local Crime Numbers
Vehicle theft has actually been trending downward across South Carolina. The National Insurance Crime Bureau reported 659,880 vehicle thefts nationwide in 2025, a 23% drop from the year before, according to Greenville Online. South Carolina mirrored that trend, recording 5,025 vehicle thefts in the first half of 2025, a 21% decline from the 6,387 reported over the same stretch in 2024, which put the state 19th nationally for vehicle thefts during that period.
The outlet also reported that the Honda Accord was South Carolina's most frequently stolen vehicle for the second consecutive year in 2025, a reminder that break-ins like the one at Rextreme LLC are part of a broader, if shrinking, statewide pattern. Locally, the numbers are more modest: according to the Lexington Chronicle, Lexington County logged 827 breaking-and-entering cases and 699 motor-vehicle thefts in 2024, while the Lexington Police Department itself recorded 25 breaking-and-entering cases and 27 motor-vehicle thefts that same year.
For now, police are seeking the individual's identity and information about the Buick's whereabouts. Anyone with information is urged to reach out to detectives rather than post about it online.
