SALISBURY — No arrest has been made after a woman was caught rummaging through a vehicle on Kings Terrace, off of Mount Hope Church Road.

A woman reported on Sunday she was washing dishes around 10:30 p.m. from her home on Kings Terrace when she saw a vehicle pull into the driveway. The woman had on a black mask and got out of a Honda.

The suspect reportedly opened the victim’s car door and removed a Mountain Dew bottle and some change from her cup holder. The victim ran outside to confront the woman. The suspect jumped back into her car and took off, said Rowan County Sheriff’s Capt. John Sifford.

A neighbor who also lives on Kings Terrace reported his two vehicles were broken into the same day. Christmas presents that he had stored in one car were stolen.

Sifford said investigators believe the two incidents are connected.
