Authorities searching North Charleston neighborhood for kidnapping, attempted murder suspect

Authorities are searching a North Charleston neighborhood for a man accused in a kidnapping and attempted murder investigation.

Multiple law enforcement agencies were in the Waylyn community late Saturday night along with K9s and a drone.

Capt. Rick Keys with the North Charleston Police Department told News 2 that his agency was assisting the Summerville Police Department in searching for a suspect involved in a kidnapping and attempted murder from Saturday afternoon.

“Our officers, after being alerted by Summerville about the description of the car and tag, located the car on Arco Lane where the suspect fled,” said Capt. Keys.

The victim was found and taken to a local hospital where she is receiving treatment.

Keys said they were looking for a white male with dirty blonde hair and tracked him to the Waylyn area near Gordon Street.

“We’re doing everything we can to catch this person. So far, we’ve tracked him to where we believe he’s in Waylyn somewhere.”

Anyone with information regarding this investigation should contact law enforcement.

News 2 has reached out to the Summerville Police Department for additional information. We are waiting to hear back.
