Beaufort County Break-Ins Solved: Warrants Issued

Since late May of this year the Beaufort County Sheriff’s Office has received over 30 reported incidents of motor vehicle break-ins from citizens in Washington Park, Bath, Cypress Landing, Tranter’s Run and River Birch.  In those reports’ victims awakened to find someone had entered their unlocked vehicles during the night and stolen personal items, guns and cash.  Some victims reported, more than one car in their driveway was entered by the suspects.   In some cases, the suspects entered attached garages to get into a vehicle and took other items while inside.  During the same time frame, the cities of Greenville, Washington and Pitt County were all experiencing similar crimes. 

On July 1, 2019 using evidence gathered during our investigation and evidence obtained while working with the Washington Police Department, Greenville Police Department and the Pitt County Sheriff’s Office, Beaufort County Sheriff’s Investigators brought forth 149 felony and 37 misdemeanor charges against 5 separate suspects for their participation in the break-ins.
