Greg W. Abrams |
Deputies
responding to a Saturday morning burglary caught a suspect with loot from other
burglaries, according to a Burke County Sheriff's Office news
release.
Around 12:55 a.m., Burke deputies Jimmy Lynn and Lonny
Hildebrand were dispatched to a burglary in progress at S&N Communications,
located at 4060 U.S. Hwy. 70 East in Hildebran.
As they arrived, they
reportedly found Greg William Abrams, 23, on the property. |
|
| Abrams ran from the scene and the deputies gave
chase, according to the news release. Officers staked out Lowman's Motel, which
is located close to area in which Abrams fled. |
| |
| A short time later, Abrams was arrested in a
room at the motel. A search of the S&N Communications property
revealed two buildings that were allegedly burglarized. |
| |
| Detective Chris Marsh stated that a search of
Abrams' motel room resulted in the confiscation of property stolen in other
recent burglaries, including one in the town of Longview. A detective with
Longview Police Department responded to the scene and collected items believed
to have been stolen during the Longview burglary. |
| |
| Abrams was jailed under a $15,000 secured bond
after being charged with felonious breaking and entering. He will have a first
court appearance today. Abrams is also wanted by the Hickory Police Department
on outstanding warrants, according to Marsh. |
