“The Cary Police Department’s primary objective is to ensure the safety and well-being of those who live in or are visiting our Town,” said Capt. Michael Williams. “It is rewarding to have apprehended these four suspects who are responsible for such an extensive list of crimes.”
Police arrested Dunbar following a series of larcenies from motor vehicles in the Taylor’s Pond and Kingswood subdivisions on June 8 and 9.

Whitehead and Barrera were charged following a home burglary, in which the same home was broken into twice in a 25-day period in March and April. Electronic items and cash were stolen from the home; the attempted second burglary was interrupted when the homeowner awoke, causing the suspects to flee. Barrera is linked to the two residential burglaries, and Whitehead is a suspect in as many as 17 commercial and residential burglaries occurring in Cary from November through May.
Creasy is linked to as many as 16 residential burglaries in the Davis Drive and N.C. 55 area. The burglaries occurred from March through June.
