LELAND, N.C. (AP) - Authorities say a North Carolina man has been charged in connection with a spate of vehicle break-ins over several weeks.
The StarNews reports (https://bit.ly/2r476c8 ) that 29-year-old Jeremy Ray Grainger was arrested Thursday and charged with multiple counts of breaking and entering a motor vehicle, larceny, larceny of a firearm and possession of a firearm by a felon. Leland police say in a statement that multiple vehicles targeted in the Magnolia Greens area were left unlocked.
