ROWLAND — Police here arrested a 41-year-old Pembroke man recently in connection to a break-in during which items totaling between $3,000 and $4,000 were stolen, including a toilet paper holder/dispenser.

Christopher Locklear was charged in connection to the Monday break-in of a home on West Main Street in Rowland, according to Rowland police Chief Hubert Graham. Locklear was charged with second-degree burglary and placed in the Robeson County Detention Center under a $3,000 secured bond.

The break-in is believed to have occurred about 1:30 a.m., Graham said. Locklear was found about two houses down at 4 p.m. and arrested by Rowland police Lt. Darren Davis.

Among the items stolen were three televisions, home interior items, multiple home security cameras, a SKILSAW, grill, wheel barrow and a toilet paper holder/dispenser, Graham said. All items except one television had been recovered as of Thursday.

The investigation continues in the case, and more arrests are likely, Graham said.
