EAST LINCOLN -- Authorities are asking for the public's help in identifying a man who is a suspect in a number of vehicle break-ins in East Lincoln.

Detective Kelly Paris said a number of vehicle break-ins occurred on November 7 along Highway 27 East and the Pine Village Area. Items stolen from vehicles included electronic equipment, a credit card and an AR 15 Assault rifle.

Security video from an ATM shows a white male withdrawing money using a stolen debit card. Special attention is directed to the hat being worn under the hood. It has what appears to be a unique styled “NY” on the front.

Anyone with information about the identity of the suspect should contact the Lincoln County Sheriff’s Office Detective Division at 704-736-8856 or Crime Stoppers at 704-736-8909. Crimestoppers pays up to $1,000 anonymously for any tip that leads to an arrest in any crime.
