The Travelers Rest Police Department advised residents to seek shelter and lock their doors as they searched for a suspect Saturday afternoon. Police said after identifying a stolen pickup truck along N HWY 25 and Roe Ford Road, they attempted a traffic stop. During that attempt, they said the suspect collided with another vehicle and then took off on foot. The driver of that vehicle is expected to be okay.
Officials described the suspect as a man who weighs around 300 pounds and is about 6 feet 2 inches tall. They also said he was last seen wearing a white shirt and green pants.
Travelers Rest Police, Greenville County bloodhound, K-9 units, and drones were actively searching for the driver of the stolen vehicle near Furman University. “Residents in the area are advised to seek shelter and lock their doors. Please call 911 if you see anything out of the ordinary,” Travelers Rest police said in a statement.
Officials suspended the search around 6 p.m. Sunday. They are asking residents to stay cautious and call 911 with any information that may lead to the suspect’s arrest.
