Three teens are accused of stealing beer and soda, among other things, from a Salisbury home they broke into Wednesday.
According to incident and arrest reports, Dana Clendenin, 17, Casey Scott, 19, and Devin Cornwell, 17, of Salisbury were charged with felony breaking and entering and felony larceny.
The teens were charged with stealing beer, soda, a cooler, about $100 in cash and a television — a total value of roughly $400 — from a home in the 700-block of Bee Tree Road in Salisbury.
According to Sheriff’s Capt. John Sifford, a neighbor called homeowner Brantly Lyerly to tell him they “thought there were some people in his house that didn’t belong.”
Lyerly left work to investigate and on his way home, he spotted a male and two females walking with a red cooler with a white lid, but “didn’t think much about it,” Sifford said.
When Lyerly returned home, “he discovered his front door had been kicked in,” Sifford said.
A neighbor reported seeing the two females putting the cooler into a silver SUV with chrome rims and leave the area.
All three were arrested and are being held in the Rowan County Detention Center. Clendenin and Scott are being held on a $5,000 bond each, while Cornwell is being held on a $10,000 bond.
