Hankey police are searching for a suspect who allegedly broke into a house late on Friday after shooting several times through a glass door. Police spokeswoman Captain Gerda Start said a 44-year-old woman was injured in the process. "The suspect took the female in her vehicle to an ATM in town to withdraw cash," Swart said.
