South Charlotte Break-ins Rise

WCNC is reporting that some South Charlotte business owners are getting fed up with a recent rash of break-ins. The most recent was overnight break-in at Manifest Discs on South Boulevard. The thieves only stole four video games.

In this case and in others - criminals busted through store front windows and doors, even using their cars to get in. Store owners say the damage costs more than what the suspects are taking.

"Somebody drove a pick-up truck straight through the window... busted out the frame than the glass of course ran in and grabbed a couple 45 inch Zenith TVs," said one victim. "It almost seems like vandalism is the main motivation here."

Some stores are considering getting an overnight security guard.
