Durham: Three juveniles face more than 100 charges in break-in spree, police say

In Durham, police now say three juveniles charged in a string of vehicle break-ins have been accused of more than 100 counts.

WRAL, citing the Durham Police Department, reported Monday night, Oct. 19, that the three juveniles face more than 100 charges from break-ins between Oct. 1 and Oct. 7 at 10 locations in the city. The department, through WRAL, named four of those places: South Briggs Avenue, Durham-Chapel Hill Boulevard, South Alston Avenue and Bedford Street. It did not name the other six.

Police are not identifying the juveniles or listing the specific charges in that 100-plus count, WRAL reported, consistent with laws on juvenile information. We are not naming them.

A charge is an accusation. Everyone charged is presumed innocent unless proven guilty in court.

How we got here

Officers served a search warrant at a home on Rosedale Avenue on Wednesday, Oct. 14, after investigating vehicle break-ins between Oct. 1 and 7. They arrested Treyveyon Cox, 21, and Telisha Hall-Cox, 50. Three juveniles were also charged.

Officers seized 10 guns, including four that were found to be stolen and two automatic weapons, along with ammunition and cash.

Cox and Hall-Cox face four counts of possession of a stolen firearm, two of possession of weapons of mass destruction, two of possession of a machine gun and three counts of contributing to the delinquency of a minor.

Background

The charges stem from incidents on North Roxboro Road and Club Boulevard and are connected to a case in which 19 vehicles were broken into at the La Quinta Inn on Durham-Chapel Hill Boulevard. Police said the arrests are also connected to armed robberies and a sexual assault, but they have not said which suspects are tied to those cases.
