If you steal for long enough, eventually you’re going to get caught.
It happened to a Winston-Salem man this week at the Lowe’s Home Improvement on Yadkinville Road in Mocksville.
Apparently, Lowe’s stores throughout the state – including the one in Mocksville – had been robbed daily for several weeks.
It started when Davie Sheriff’s deputies noticed the suspect’s Honda parked at the Mocksville Lowe’s.
“Deputies recognized the vehicle as it was said to have been used in a large number of retail thefts at multiple Lowe’s Home Improvement locations around the state,” said Sheriff J.D. Hartman.
A perimeter was set up in the area, and a deputy went inside to try to locate the suspect. Employees said he had just ran out of another door.
The suspect was found hiding in a wooded area behind McDonald’s, across Yadkinville Road, Hartman said.
Casey Martin Norris, 47, was charged with felony organized retail theft, felony conspiracy, felony possession of Schedule II controlled substances, and damage to property. He was issued felony warrants from Forsyth and Rockingham counties, as well.
“Deputies spoke to Lowe’s asset protection and learned that Norris was a larceny suspect from multiple locations around the state, and he had been caught on camera almost daily over the past few weeks,” Hartman said.
Fentanyl and suspected crack cocaine were found in his vehicle.
