Repo agents looking for a vehicle end up leaving an elderly woman stranded in the Bi-Lo parking lot late Wednesday night and the woman's daughter upset about the incident.

The victim stopped an officer in the parking lot on North Generals Boulevard just after 11pm.

"She said there was an elderly female in the car and the repossession company had the female get out of the car so they could take the vehicle," said Lt. Kenny Shrum.

The repo agents then drove off with all of the women's belongings in the vehicle including medications, keys, phones, purses and other items.

Originally, agents told police the women could recover their personal belongings after speaking to a company supervisor; however, officers were able to get the personal belongings from the vehicle.
