Outstanding police work by Central Precinct Sergeant Matt England led to the arrest of a man suspected in a series of commercial burglaries on Cowan Street, Centennial Boulevard, and Brick Church Pike.
Sergeant England arrested Sterling Harris, 50, of Heritage Drive, for an outstanding burglary warrant after spotting Harris in his Mitsubishi Mirage at 8th Avenue North and Jefferson Street. Harris is charged with burglary in the May 19 break-in at Roppel Industries, 817 Cowan Street. Sergeant England identified Harris as the suspect through latent prints found at Roppel Industries following the burglary. Harris is also charged with felony cocaine and marijuana possession.
For the past month, Harris has been seen wandering around numerous businesses during the day and when asked what he was doing, he would respond that he was looking for a job. Harris is suspected of primarily stealing laptops from area businesses during nighttime burglaries.
Harris is being held in lieu of $50,000 dollars bond.
