Police presence reported at QuikTrip in lower South End

CHARLOTTE — A large police presence was reported in south Charlotte Friday morning.

An incident occurred at the QuikTrip on Clanton Road just after 4 a.m.

Channel 9 observed crime scene tape blocking off the front entrance of the gas station. Multiple police officers were investigating in front of the convenience store.

MEDIC said the incident was an assault call but they weren’t required to respond.

Channel 9 crime-mapped the area and found two dozen crimes within a half-mile radius of the gas station in just the past week. Most were for disturbing the peace and larceny calls.

The Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department has not said what led up to the incident or if anyone will be charged.
