B&E Suspect Arrested in CMPD Eastway Division

Chris Taylor
Early this morning, CMPD Eastway Division Officers were dispatched to a burglar alarm call at CMS' Piedmont Middle School located at 1241 E. 10th Street.  Dispatch advised that they had received several alarm activations in different areas of the school.

Officers arrived on scene and found an open door in the back of the school so they established a perimeter around the building and requested a K-9 Officer.  A short time later, the suspect was located in the men's visiting team locker room carrying a backpack containing items he’d taken from the school without permission or authority.

Eastway Division officers with the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department arrested Frank Christopher Taylor and charged him with Breaking and Entering with Force. The CMPD continues to urge citizens to observe and report suspicious activity by calling 911. Anyone with information on unsolved cases may forward their anonymous tips to Crime Stoppers @ 704-334-1600.
