On Thursday, June 13, Wake Forest Police obtained arrest warrants on the following individuals in connection with several vehicle break-ins and a car theft on May 30:

  • Cody Phillip Morris, age 33, 307 Needham Road, Pilot Mountain, NC

  • Timothy Andrew Allen, age 34, 73 Mourning Dove Dr., Marion, NC

  • Landon Dane Smith, age 28, 1507 Highland Ave., Greensboro, NC

  • Jessica Lynn Bobbitt, age 38, 926 Old Fort Road, Fairview, NC

All will be charged with seven counts of felony breaking and entering a motor vehicle, felony larceny of a motor vehicle, felony larceny, and felony conspiracy; four counts of misdemeanor larceny; and one count of misdemeanor conspiracy.

Police say most of the vehicles targeted on May 30 were unlocked. As a result, officials are again urging residents to consider adopting the “9 PM Routine.”

The 9 PM Routine is a national campaign that encourages residents to create a nighttime routine consisting of basic safety measures, including locking your doors, closing your garage, making sure no items are left visible in your car, and turning on your porch lights.

Most cars that are broken into are unlocked. Criminals walk through neighborhoods, trying vehicle door handles, hoping to find an unlocked vehicle. The best way to prevent vehicle burglaries is by removing all your valuables, locking your vehicle’s doors upon exiting, and taking the keys to the vehicle inside your residence.
