Charleston County sheriff's deputies arrested two men in connection to a string of vehicle break-ins.

Jonathan Wireman-Ridge, 27, and Adam Lee Howard, 28, both of Summerville are charged with seven counts of breaking into a motor vehicle.

Charleston County sheriff's deputies responded to the Buckshire Subdivision on Monday in reference to seven vehicle break-ins. While conducting their investigation deputies observed a suspicious vehicle in the subdivision and conducted a traffic stop. As the deputies approached the vehicle they observed one of the passengers attempting to hide something between the seats of the vehicle.

The items, credit cards and gift cards, were recovered and connected to the previously-reported vehicle break-ins. Howard and Wireman-Ridge will have a bond hearing Thursday. The investigation is ongoing.

SUMMERVILLE, SC (WCSC) - A Summerville family was so terrified they left their home Thursday night after it became a shooting target.

It happened at around 7:30 p.m., a police report said.

Witnesses told investigators they saw a black Cadillac pull in front of the Abby Lane apartment.

The man of Mexican descent who lives inside with his with wife, brother and 18-month old daughter did not want to be identified because he feared repercussion.

He said they were all sitting on the living room sofa, anticipating one of their favorite TV shows.

"That's when I heard the first shot," said the 24-year old man in Spanish.

With the Memorial Day holiday weekend approaching, the Dorchester County Sheriff's Office will have several DUI checkpoints set up around the county over the weekend.  Deputies will begin setting the checkpoints up on Thursday, May 27th in an effort to reduce drinking and driving.
