MATTHEWS, N.C. — Police in Matthews are asking the public to be on the lookout for a person accused of breaking into apartments around town.
The police department shared a photo on social media of a person wearing a black hoodie, black joggers and sneakers. They say the unknown suspect has been breaking the glass of patio doors or forcing their way into the least visible door to common areas.
