Goose Creek Subway Burglary Leads to Multiple Charges

A Goose Creek woman is facing a long list of felony charges after deputies connected her to a break-in at a Subway restaurant on Red Bank Road earlier this week. Investigators say the suspect was stopped in a vehicle matching the description from the burglary and later arrested on an unrelated warrant.

Authorities report the case escalated during booking when contraband was allegedly discovered, leading to additional serious charges. Deputies later recovered stolen property from a Goose Creek residence. The suspect remains in custody at the Berkeley County detention center.

Hardee’s Locations in Goose Creek Expected to Reopen

After sudden closures earlier this year, the Hardee’s restaurant in Goose Creek is expected to reopen within the next few weeks. Company officials indicated the shutdowns were temporary and tied to operational changes rather than permanent closures.

The reopening is welcome news for local employees and regular customers, especially along busy commercial corridors where the restaurants serve as daily stops for commuters.

Berkeley County Continues Economic Momentum

While not brand new this week, county leaders continue to highlight the recent opening of a large naval manufacturing facility in the Goose Creek area as a major economic win. The facility supports U.S. Navy programs and brings high-skilled jobs and long-term investment to the region.

Local officials say projects like this are expected to strengthen Goose Creek’s tax base and support surrounding small businesses over time.

Looking Ahead

Residents can expect continued law enforcement updates as investigations move forward, along with more clarity on business reopenings and upcoming city and county meetings as February continues.
