Chapin, SC 05/20/2025 (Paul Kirby) – The leaders of the Chapin Police Department are taking to social media to make area businesses aware of a new scam!

They are asking local businesses to donate items for “welcome baskets” to be given to new residents. Police say that this is not a legitimate request from the Town of Chapin or any of its affiliated departments.
