Search On For Huntersville Car Break-In Suspect Caught On Video

HUNTERSVILLE, NC — Police are hoping someone can identify a man caught on camera attempting to open a Jeep parked outside a Huntersville home in the middle of the night over the weekend. The suspect is wanted in connection with a rash of auto break-ins reported over the weekend, according to Huntersville Police.

“Over the [weekend], several unlocked vehicles were entered overnight in the Monteith Pl. and Skybrook Neighborhoods,” HPD said Wednesday morning.

In the video time stamped shortly before 4 a.m. on Sunday, Oct. 6, the man is seen walking up the driveway between two vehicles parked in the driveway before he tested the door handle for a dark colored jeep. Behind him, on the street, another person is seen on foot. The man appears to be wearing a black hooded sweatshirt with a large Nike “swoosh” on the chest and dark colored jeans, and white sneakers.

HPD said anyone who recognizes the suspect is asked to call the police department at 704-464-5400, or North Mecklenburg Crime Stoppers at 704-896-7867.
