♦ In the neverending Tsunami of motor vehicle break-ins and car thievery throughout Salisbury, Carl Lee Burch, Jr. 31, of 106 Hawkins Avenue and Michael Dwayne Conner, Jr., 28, of 621 S. Ellis Street had their alleged motor vehicle “visions” snagged by alert residents Tuesday evening. Both alleged motor vehicle attempts occurred on Mitchell Avenue and on Fulton Street in Salisbury.
According to police sources Burch and Conner allegedly muffed a 1999 Ford “Crown Victoria” theft around 10:15 P.M. at 1230 S. Fulton Street when the owner noted his car was moved and promptly called for the police. The ignition was damaged by a “hot wire” attempt and the car’s steering column was out.
Not long after the incident on Fulton, someone alerted the Salisbury Police that two men allegedly moved a 2000 Jeep Grand Cherokee into the middle of the 400 block of Mitchell Avenue and were attempting to steal it. The Salisbury Police responded quickly, pulling up when the two suspects tried their luck running. The big roulette wheel in the sky said “nada”. Burch and Conner were caught and arrested on the 700 block of Mitchell.
Both Conner and Burch were charged with 2 counts each breaking and entering motor vehicle (felony), 1 count each of larceny motor vehicle (felony), 1 count each of larceny (misdemeanor), and 2 counts each of injury to personal property (misdemeanor).
Under a secured $10,000 bond each, both Conner and Burch were placed in the Rowan County Detention Center. Conner has since made bail and was released.
