Anderson Charged in Another Break-In
 
Sheriff John T. McDevitt and detectives arrested a man on August 18th who they say broke into a Conley Road home and stole firearms and jewelry.

Nicholas Ryan Anderson (right), 24, of 106 Airpark Drive, Morganton was free on bond on unrelated breaking and entering charges when he was apprehended Thursday. He is accused of burglarizing the home of Robert Hensley of 2572 Conley Road, Morganton. 
 
Hensley reported the break-in to the Sheriff's Office on August 17th. Investigators developed Anderson as a suspect early in the case, and spent all day Thursday looking for him, according to Detective Robert F. Beall. 
 
McDevitt spotted Anderson in a vehicle around 4 PM Thursday, approximately one mile from the spot of the break-in, Beall said. The sheriff and officers arrested him without incident. 
 
Beall said detectives were able to recover eight firearms, several pieces of jewelry and other items taken from Hensley's home. Additional arrests in the case may be forthcoming. 
 
Anderson remains in the Burke County Jail under a $20,000 secured bond. He had a first court appearance on Friday after being charged with breaking, entering and larceny, felonious possession of stolen goods, larceny of firearms, and possession of firearms by a felon.
