Brunswick teen in custody for multiple charges

A Brunswick County teenager is in custody tonight for allegedly stealing a car, and driving it from Wilmington to Leland.

Just after 3:00 am on Thursday, a Brunswick County deputy saw an SUV pull out of a gas station, driving fast and recklessly.

He followed it into Magnolia Greens along Highway 17 in Leland. That’s when the 17-year-old lost control, and ran into an empty house.

The young man is facing charges including possession of a stolen vehicle, and drug charges.
