As MBPD Chief Amy Prock stated in a statement, “Public safety is a shared responsibility and we certainly work together to make a difference in Horry County.” This operation is another example of the dedication of our law enforcement professionals and business community to fighting crime in our area. We will hold those individuals accountable for their actions.”
The Horry County law enforcement community collaborates closely on a daily basis to keep residents and visitors safe, said HCPD Chief Joseph Hill. “One recent joint operation led to 12 arrests. Perhaps more importantly, the operation demonstrated how effective teamwork is to solve problems. It is our goal to ensure criminals know they will not be spared until they face justice.”
The stolen merchandise will be used as evidence against those arrested.
