A man reported his motorcycle, which had been secured with a heavy-duty lock, stolen from a Myrtle Beach resort on Saturday morning, according to a police report.
An officer met the victim at Myrtle Beach Marriott Resort & Spa at Grande Dunes, located at 8400 Costa Verde Drive, to investigate the report of a stolen red and black 2006 motorcycle, the report states.
The man told police that around 1 a.m. he parked his bike on the first floor of the resort’s parking garage and went to his room for the night, according to the report. He said that around 8:30 a.m. he left to get his sunglasses from his motorcycle but that it was not there, the report states.
