For the second time, a white male has been caught on surveillance video breaking the glass door of a local business; however, his identity is still unknown.  So far after at least two attempts, a thief has been unsuccessful in stealing.  He has only succeeded in property damages totaling 600 dollars from both attempts.  About 2am Tuesday morning the man threw a rock against the front door of Shatters Internet Sweepstakes on Hwy 16 in Millers Creek.  The glass door was not broken through; only chips were knocked out of the glass.  The man then ran off.  Video surveillance showed that the suspect was a white male wearing a green coat with a hood pulled over his head, blue jeans, and dark tennis shoes.  Damages to the door are estimated at 300 dollars.  A similar report came in early Monday morning.  Sheriff’s Duties responded to a breaking and entering at the Little Market Basket on Hwy 268 in Wilkesboro.  When Deputies arrived they found a store employee standing in front of the broken front door.  A Deputy reviewed the security tape at the store and saw that a white male wearing a camouflage coat hit the door glass twice with a rock.  When the glass broke, the man ran off.  Apparently, the security alarm caused him to leave before he could steal anything.  Again, damages to the door were 300 dollars.  The suspect was described as a white male in his 20’s, 5’10’ and about 150 pounds.  There is the only information at this time; the Sheriff’s Department is still investigating.
