CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Police said a proactive homeowner, a door bell camera, and a quick response from officers helped lead to an arrest of a repeat offender accused of breaking into an east Charlotte home.
Charlotte-Mecklenburg police said officers got a call around 11:30 a.m. Friday from a woman reporting a suspicious person who rang her camera-equipped doorbell at her home on Baraway Drive.
