Maintenance workers discover meth lab remnants
Police are searching for clues after maintenance workers discovered the remnants of an apparent meth lab, Kingstree Police Chief Robert Ford said.
The workers stumbled across the lab Thursday afternoon and called officers to the scene, he said.
Once there, police discovered suspicious items “consistent with the operation of a meth lab,” the chief said. Empty canisters, matches and several pills used in the making of meth also were discovered.
Kingstree officials declined to release the location of the home because of an ongoing investigation.
No methamphetamines were found in the home, he said.
Residue found at the scene was sent to the State Law Enforcement Division for analysis. No arrests have been made, Ford said.
Anyone with information about the case is asked to call the Kingstree Police Department at (843) 355-5435 or Crime Stoppers of the Pee Dee at (888) CRIME SC (274-6372). Callers need not reveal their identities.

Lisa, For once I’m with you on this one. How retarded is that article.
Sometimes I wonder who they have writing these articles? A third grader can do better than that. Your response was funny!
I think I can help!
I know of a guy that lives down a dirt road in a trailer close to Kingstree.
I believe this guy smokes and drinks beer.
I hope I’ve narrowed down the search.
LOL. I agree with bec1164. How could anyone possibly help the Kingstree Police Dept. with information? This article needs a great deal of work. The Morning News staff should have also added that “Anyone with information about the case”.. might call the Morning News also. That way they can actually write a story that contains some useful information.
Where? The article is incomplete.
