Authorities charged a 22-year-old Salisbury man with breaking into buildings Tuesday on Glover Road and South Main Street in Granite Quarry.
Chad Steven Brown of 3909 Old Concord Road later tried to sell some of the items taken in one of the break-ins at China Grove Gun and Pawn, according to reports.
