SALISBURY — Two men face charges for trying to pawn and obtain a refund for a vacuum cleaner stolen from a city government truck.

Nathan Valentine, 61, of China Grove faces a charge of obtaining property by false pretenses. Jonathan Wade McDaniel, 31, of Rowan County faces charges of larceny and obtaining property by false pretenses.

Both men are accused by Salisbury Police of removing a vacuum cleaner from the back of a code enforcement truck on Oct. 18. City cameras recorded the incident and made it possible to track them, Lt. Justin Crews said.

They allegedly tried first to pawn the vacuum cleaner, but were denied by staff at the store. Then, they took the vacuum cleaner to Lowe’s for a refund.

Valentine on Tuesday was still wanted by police. McDaniel was arrested Monday and given a $1,500 bond.
