This seems to be their first lead in this. Some people are so sick to steal from children during the holidays.
Well, hope they catch the creeps!

Police investigate children's clothes, toys found in trash

Thee Pawn Shoppe owner Jimmy McKenzie was walking his new puppy, Elvis, on Wednesday when he noticed unusual items in a trash bin near his business on U.S. 17 North.

Bags of tiny clothes, toys, jackets and shoes were crammed in the garbage can behind his store, he said.

Myrtle Beach investigators combed through the bin Thursday afternoon, hoping to tie the merchandise to items taken in a pre-Christmas theft at Caring 4 Kids in Myrtle Beach.

The items will be shown to Caring 4 Kids Director Barb Mains today for possible identification, said Myrtle Beach police Investigator David Garazioso.

"This is the first decent lead that we've had," he said. "We're still looking into it, and hopefully, we'll have some answers soon."

The thieves took more than $6,000 worth of gifts Dec. 22, police said.

The items were meant for about 900 children in rural Horry County.

Space at the Woodmen of the World lodge on Cedar Street was donated to Caring 4 Kids for storing donated toys.

"We had put bars on the windows and a barbed wire fence, but that still didn't keep the thieves out," said Lodge 1111 Treasurer Julie Brannock. "The lodge was full of just everything."

The thieves took Bratz dolls, Barbies and CD players, as well as karaoke machines and a radio.

Electronic items were not found in the trash.

Toy cars, stuffed bears, Barbies and a doll house were found in plastic bags. Some items remained in colorful Christmas gift bags.

"I heard about the missing toys," McKenzie said. "Something is not right. We popped open the first bag and noticed the price tags."
