The Halifax County Sheriff's Office Friday arrested David Cox, 31, from the Roanoke Rapids area, on several vehicle break-ins in the West Tenth Street area, Lieutenant Bobby Martin said.
Lieutenant Chuck Hasty arrested the man in the Colonial Drive area when he saw Cox allegedly toss a GPS unit to the ground, a unit which was allegedly stolen from a vehicle on Fairlane Drive.
Cox was charged with three counts of breaking and entering motor vehicles and possession of stolen goods. He was jailed on a $9,000 bond and has a May 12 court date.
Meanwhile, Captain Andy Jackson, of the Roanoke Rapids Police Department, said Cox has also been charged with breaking and entering a motor vehicle, felony larceny and possession of stolen goods, which stem from break-ins in the Rochelle Pond area. One of the items stolen has been recovered and Cox faces an additional charge of obtaining property by false pretense where a stolen item was sold.
Jackson said further investigation into the car break-ins continues.
There is to be no profanity and there is to be no character assassination even if the person being written about is a suspect in a crime.
