SALISBURY — At least five vehicles were stolen from after a string of larcenies at the Woodland Creek Apartments on Wednesday.

Around 8:30 a.m. a deputy responded to an apartment in the 400 block of Woodland Creek Drive in reference to a larceny from a motor vehicle, according to a spokesperson for the Rowan County Sheriff’s Office. That vehicle had a window busted out and the owner reported items had been stolen. While there, the deputy discovered or was told about two other vehicles that had been broken into as well. Two more vehicles had belongings inside reported missing, but due to the lack of damage deputies believe that they were left unlocked.

According to police reports, the larcenies all occurred sometime between 5 a.m. and 12:14 p.m. on Wednesday. Multiple belongings were reported missing and a wallet was found lying on the ground in the parking lot.

No one has been charged in the break-ins as of Friday, and the spokesperson confirmed that the sheriff’s office is continuing to investigate.
