SALISBURY — A 25-year-old man faces charges for breaking into vehicles at three different locations in Salisbury.

Jeremiah Emmanuel Billingslea of Salisbury was charged Wednesday with three felony counts of breaking and entering a vehicle.

Sgt. Russ DeSantis said Billingslea was seen on video breaking into a vehicle in the 800 block of North Long Street between 10:12 a.m. and 1:55 p.m. on Tuesday, a vehicle in the 1100 block of Laurel Street between 9:50 a.m. and 9:55 a.m. on Tuesday and a vehicle at the Holiday Inn on Marriott Circle between 2:11 a.m. and 2:15 a.m. on Wednesday.

Billingslea hasn’t been publicly connected to any other break-ins, but Salisbury Police are urging people to lock their vehicles and keep valuables out of sight after a recent uptick in incidents. Police say there have been 68 thefts from vehicles reported in the previous 60 days — 21 of which involve stolen guns.

Of the 21 cases involving guns, 19 vehicles were not locked, according to Salisbury Police. It’s best to lock guns in the trunk if they must be left in a vehicle, police say.
