Travelers Rest police are searching for a suspect after a vandalism incident that caused $10,000 in damage just after 1 a.m. early Sunday morning, according to FOX Carolina. Investigators say the destruction is not an isolated incident, and they are asking residents across town to stay alert.
The Travelers Rest Police Department said it is searching for the suspect behind the vandalism, according to FOX Carolina. Police posted video to social media showing the suspect running through a parking lot during the incident, the outlet reported.
The department has not released the suspect's identity or said what property was damaged, and it has not indicated whether anyone has been identified or taken into custody. What officers have made clear is the scale of the financial toll: $10,000 in damage from a single early-morning episode.
Police Say the Problem Extends Beyond One Scene
Rather than framing the incident as isolated, the police department told the community the vandalism is happening throughout Travelers Rest and urged residents to stay alert, as reported by FOX Carolina. The message signals growing concern beyond whatever single parking lot appears in the footage.
That broader warning is part of why investigators are leaning on the public for tips. Anyone with information about the suspect's identity is asked to contact Detective M. Chitwood, either by phone at 864-363-6669 or by email at [email protected], FOX Carolina reported FOX Carolina.
What Happens Next
No further details have been released about the investigation's progress, and it remains unclear whether additional incidents will be linked to the same suspect or pattern. For now, the department's appeal for tips, paired with the parking-lot video already circulating, represents the clearest lead in the case.
