Police investigate burglary at Myrtle Beach home

A Myrtle Beach couple reported that their home was burglarized, and firearms, jewelry, and a computer were among the items taken, according to a police report.

Police were called at 9:50 a.m. on Thursday, to the 500 block of Calhoun road, police said.

A 33-year-old woman told police she left her home about 8:30 a.m. to take her son to school. When she returned about an hour later, she thought someone had been in her home and noticed that the backdoor was unlocked. She called her 44-year-old husband, and he came and walked through the home with her, according to the report.

The couple noticed items were missing and contacted police. Police saw no signs of forced entry. A construction worker working on a home next door said he saw a green Toyota Tacoma, which had damage to the passenger side, front fender, pulled up after the woman left her residence, police said.

Prior to responding to the break-in, police responded to a call about an impaired driver in the area of the couple’s home, and the car matched the description of the burglar, according to the report.

No arrests had been made as of 8:45 a.m. on Friday.
