Two Charged For Breaking And Entering In East Charlotte: CMPD

Two suspects were arrested for an east Charlotte break-in were behind another, according to Charlotte police.

CHARLOTTE, NC — Charlotte police nabbed two suspects wanted for an east Charlotte breaking and entering Tuesday morning and say they are behind at least one other similar crime across the city.

Officers responded to a call about a breaking and entering at a home in the 5700 block of Copper Creek Court May 22, and quickly obtained surveillance video that identified the two suspects.

Officers then spotted the two suspects — Tryshon Herron, 19, and Keshon Perry, 17 — walking in the area. They bolted when CMPD officers attempted to approach them but “were eventually detained without further incident,” according to a Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department report.

The pair were taken to police headquarters for an interview, and were then charged with breaking and entering, larceny after breaking and entering and conspiracy to commit breaking and entering. Evidence also linked the pair to a similar crime on E. WT Harris Boulevard, which brought a fresh round of charges that also included common law robbery.
