GARYSBURG – One suspect is still at large, but seven others have been arrested.

According to Captain Daryl Harmon of the Northampton County Sheriff’s Office, a rash of vehicle break-ins were reported on the morning of May 28 in Garysburg.

Deputy Sheriff C. Barfield was called out to one of those break-ins when the owner spotted the suspects and called 911.

&uot;The first one that was reported on Gin Loop Road was investigated by Lt. Barfield and then the rest were called in as the owners woke up and found their vehicles had been burglarized,&uot; Capt. Harmon said. &uot;At that point, the investigation was turned over to me.&uot;
