HMPD Officers Arrest Man for Vehicle Break-ins.
<p>On Thursday, September 22, 2016, at approximately 2:00am, Hope Mills Police Officers responded to the Alco Station on Camden Road in reference to a possible kidnapping. Upon arrival in the area, Officers met with a subject who told them that an unknown male told her that he had witnessed a woman being forced into a vehicle against her will and asked her to call the Police. The reporting person told Officers that the subject had walked off towards the Millstone Theater Complex. Officers then began to search the area for the male that witnessed the alleged kidnapping and, located him in the area of Castlefield Lane a short while later. When the Officers located the witness, later identified as Zachary Allen Nobles, 18, of the 5800 block of Rockfish Road, Hope Mills, they noticed that he was wearing different clothing than when he originally reported the abduction and was in possession of a flashlight. Other Officers then began finding vehicles that had been broken into in the immediate area and related that information to the Officers that were in contact with Nobles. Officers then found property on his person that belonged to some of the vehicles that had been broken into. After further investigation, Officers and Detectives determined that the kidnapping incident had been fabricated by Nobles as an attempt to occupy and tie up Officers while he broke into vehicles which, by his thinking, would lessen his chances of being caught while doing so. Nobles was arrested at the scene and transported to the Cumberland County Detention Center where he was jailed under a $20,000.00 bond for the following charges:</p>
<p> </p>
<p>10 Counts of Felony Breaking and Entering of a Motor Vehicle</p>
<p>7 Counts of Felony Larceny from a Motor Vehicle</p>
<p>2 Counts of Felony Possession of Stolen Goods</p>
<p>1 Count of Misdemeanor Filing a False Police Report</p>
