“Bubble Bandit” Strikes Again in Florence County

Florence police have confirmed the Bubble Bandit is back and has struck again. Community members reported someone put soap in a water fountain along David McLeod Boulevard which created an excess of bubbles to materialize. Last August, police in the Pee Dee area investigated several similar instances where this same prank occurred, however an arrest was never made. It’s unclear at this point if police believe this latest incident was committed by the same perpetrator or if this is the work of a copy cat. This remains to be an ongoing investigation.
