SELMA, N.C. — The Johnston County Sheriff’s Office is seeking the public’s help identifying a suspect believed to be responsible for a series of vehicle break-ins reported across the Selma area this month.

According to the Sheriff’s Office, multiple break-ins have been reported between June 8 and June 22 in several neighborhoods and communities, including South Trail Drive, Langdon Chase Way, Live Oak Church Road, Sullivan Road, Madison Drive, and Carmil Drive.
