West West Roanoke Rapids Police Department

A Roanoke Rapids boy has been charged with numerous counts related to break-ins in the Riverpoint mobile home park area of the city.

Advanced Criminal Enforcement Agent John Taylor charged Kenyon West, 16, of Collins Avenue, with 19 counts of breaking and entering, one count of first-degree burglary, three counts larceny of a firearm, 16 counts of larceny after breaking and entering, 18 counts possession of stolen goods and three counts injury to real property.

The charges reflect break-ins that have occurred since April, Captain Andy Jackson said. Items stolen include guns, televisions and jewelry and represent a good number of the mobile homes in the park that were broken into.

While the value of items has not been tallied, Jackson said that West receiving a $75,000 bond is indicative of not only the charges, but the value of the items stolen, some which were recovered and some which are believed to have been sold.

Breaks in the case came through witness statements and help from concerned citizens. Investigation continues and more arrests are possible.

West has a November 9 court date.
