An arrest has been made in connection with a string on break-ins.

Keith Demetrius Wright is facing seven felony charges after being taken into custody by Chapel Hill Police. An Alert Carolina message that was sent to the campus community on Tuesday recounts incidents dating back to September 21, with the majority taking place near Greek housing.

Chapel Hill Police Lieutenant Josh Mecimore says the 20-year-old from Durham was taken into custody early Wednesday morning at 303 East Franklin Street, the address of the Alpha Tau Omega Fraternity House.

“He was attempting to commit another break-in,” he says. “Officers were watching a couple of different locations overnight and into the morning hours, observed a suspicious person and then eventually were able to determine that he was attempting to break-in to a location.”

Mecimore says that officers were able to connect the suspect to some of the unresolved cases.

“[The arrest] kind of started the whole ball rolling on getting the charges and then finding some other evidence that he had in his possession,” Mecimore says, “that may lead to even more charges for us or for another agency possibly.”

Mecimore adds police had a good description of the suspect from the previous incidents.

“I’m not sure if they had specifically identified this person,” he says. “I know that our investigators had a very good description and some surveillance video of the person.”

Wright is facing two counts of felony larceny of a motor vehicle, two counts of felony burglary, two counts of felony breaking and entering to a motor vehicle, one count of felony larceny, one count of misdemeanor damage to property, and one count of misdemeanor larceny.

Wright was also served with three warrants for probation violation.

Additional charges may be coming, according to Mecimore, depending on the result of the investigation.

Wright is being held in the Orange County Jail under a $110,000 secured bond.

His first court appearance is scheduled for Thursday afternoon.
