♦ Monday night the Salisbury Police were kept busy by a rash of break-ins in East Innes Street area. Hit were the AT&T mobile phone store, GNC, and the T-Mobile Store.
Worst hit was the AT&T store off Faith road. According to law enforcement sources the AT&T lost a number of smart, tablets, and an undetermined amount of cash from a safe. The break-in happened sometime during the night when someone pried open the rear door of the neighboring GNC, then sledge hammered through GNC’s Break Room wall to gain entry into AT&T. Nothing was reported taken from GNC although its restroom wall was damaged by thieves making attempts to gain entry into the neighboring AT&T store.
An alarm company for GNC alerted the owner that something was amiss with his alarm system. The GNC owner traveled to his store to discover holes in his interior walls and promptly called the Salisbury Police.
Also reported Monday night was a smash and grab style break-in attempt at the T-Mobile mobile phone store on East Innes Street. A window was smashed by a large rock in a failed attempt to gain entry. It is unknown at this time if the T-Mobile smash and grab was related to the GNC and AT&T break-ins. All three break-ins remain under investigation.
If you have any information about these break-ins, please call Salisbury-Rowan Crime Stoppers at 1-866-639-5245 or the Salisbury Police at 704-638-5333.
