Police say a suspect is in custody after a string of burglaries at a popular south Charlotte shopping center.
Emil Lagos-Herrera is in jail facing multiple charges related to a series of break-ins at the Arboretum Shopping Center.
Court records say Lagos-Herrera was captured on surveillance video breaking into a Sephora store last Monday, and was arrested by Mint Hill Police the following day.
Court documents reveal that Lagos-Herrera has been linked to at least 13 other break-ins at businesses and restaurants at the Arboretum and along Lancaster Highway.
The break-ins have caused significant damage to the affected businesses, with the Sephora store being one of the latest targets.
