Neighbor’s Tip Leads Davidson PD To River Run Burglary Arrest

DAVIDSON, NC — Davidson Police are crediting a quick-thinking neighbor’s tip after they located and arrested a suspect they say is behind a Memorial Day burglary in River Run and Huntersville.

The burglary is a reminder to Davidson residents to lock their vehicles, doors and garage doors, police say.

DPD received a call from a concerned neighbor around 4:30 p.m. on May 28 after they said they saw a suspicious person go into the garage of a home and take golf clubs.

The witness gave a detailed vehicle description and clothing description of the suspect, who was located on Wildcat Trail with the stolen items in their possession. “During the course of the investigation, it was also discovered that this individual allegedly committed the same crime in Huntersville before coming to Davidson,” DPD said in a statement.
