Mooresville police arrested Tommy Small Jr. in January on drug charges.
The Mooresville Police Department and the Davie County Sheriff’s Office connected Small to a December 2025 break-in after investigators looked at arrest records.
Small and an accomplice posed as DOT workers and offered to fix a driveway, police said. However, they made the victims go to a separate location to pay them.
The suspects returned to the house before the owners got back, broke in, and stole $20,000 worth of valuable items.
Small is expected in court this week.
