LINCOLNTON – Three Lincolnton residents have been arrested and charged with multiple counts of breaking and entering into motor vehicles, taking property.

According to Lincolnton Police detective Dennis Harris, Wilbert Lester Fair and Kelly Christine Prather, both of 1452 Cleveland Lane, Lincolnton, broke into several vehicles overnight last Wednesday and took CD players and money. Several of the cars also had ignition switches broken. Dustin Logan Martin Ensley, 3023 Gastonia Highway, Lincolnton, was also arrested in the case.

“They were trying to steal some of the vehicles,” said Harris, adding one more arrest is pending and more charges may be filed. All three were taken to the Harven A. Crouse Detention Center under various bonds on at least eight separate charges of breaking and entering into motor vehicles and larceny.
