A pair of Guilford County residents have been implicated in a couple of card shop break-ins that took place in Burlington earlier this fall.
The city’s police department initially identified Vann Hazekiah McDonald, Jr. as one of the culprits in the first break-in which occurred at E & A Cards at 2557 South Church Street on September 24. Court records indicate that the 54-year-old black male of 1115 Duke Street in Greensboro was taken into custody on October 16 and currently faces felony-level charges for breaking and entering and larceny.
Since McDonald’s arrest, the department’s investigators have identified Fred Edward Smith as a second suspect in the break-in at E & A. In the meantime, they determined that the 54-year-old black male of 705 Woodard Drive in Whitsett had subsequently struck Cards at the Cages, which is located at 1023 Boston Drive. Smith consequently faces two counts apiece of felony larceny and felony-level breaking and entering.
According to court records, McDonald has been placed under a $40,000 secured bond since his arrest. Meanwhile, Smith’s bond has been set at $20,000, secured.
