BERKELEY COUNTY, S.C. (WCBD) – Three teenagers were charged for breaking into vehicles after attempting to flee Berkeley County deputies, the agency said.

Dispatch received a call about possible vehicle break-ins just before 3 a.m., the agency said.

Deputies responded and searched the area of Archibald Drive in Goose Creek, where they found three suspects who matched the caller’s description.
