“How scared would you be at 1:15 am to find a stranger in your car parked in your driveway? We got the call and immediately went into action. Last night, SCPD quickly responded to a home on Hagemann Avenue when the resident reported seeing a suspicious person in their vehicle in the driveway. Officers surprised the suspect, Christopher Beresh, while he was still in the car. Hands Up – Get Out.
Mr. Beresh was detained and found in possession of a concealed fixed blade knife, methamphetamine, a scale, and a large amount of what appears to be stolen property. Christopher Beresh is also on probation for multiple counts of various property crimes.
