On May 10, deputies located a white 2004 Range Rover Discovery near Holly Hill. A check of the VIN number revealed the $18,000 vehicle had been reported stolen from Goose Creek.

The vehicle was towed to an impound yard for safekeeping while the owner was contacted. The owner was told the vehicle had suffered some smoke damage.
