Bonnie and Clyde?
November 16, 2006
University Police issued warrants Wednesday for the arrests of two people sought for a rash of car break-ins.
William Andrew Towe is being charged with 17 felonies and four misdemeanors, including entering auto, financial transaction card theft, theft by deception and theft by receiving.
Julia Maria Towe is being charged with two felonies and one misdemeanor, including theft by receiving and theft by deception.
The Towes are accused of taking nearly $7,000 in merchandise between Oct. 16 and Nov. 13, including:
— $5,275 in golf equipment
— five University parking permits valued at $35 each
— purse and its contents valued at $614
— $300 CD player
— $280 subwoofer
— $250 amplifier
— $80 satellite radio receiver
Cars parked at East Campus parking deck, North Campus parking deck, the Russell Hall parking lot and the Intramural Fields were entered.
ACC Police said they found some of the items in a car belonging to the Towes after executing a search warrant when it was impounded.
Both accused are not University students, and it is unknown if they are related.
The moral of this story: Lock your cars and hide your valuables in the trunk.
