A Weldon man has been arrested in the Wednesday morning home invasion on Jackson Street, the Roanoke Rapids Police Department said.

The Weldon Police Department reported the following:

Captain James Avens said Gray knocked out a window and was found in the garage when officers arrived and was charged with breaking and entering and damage to property.
He was jailed on $1,000 bond.
“I would like to encourage citizens to not hesitate in calling for suspicious activities that go on in their neighborhoods. I would like to personally thank the anonymous caller that was concerned enough to make the call,” Avens said.

Hardy had marijuana and hydrocodone pills.
He received a $100 unsecured bond.
