A man arrested in Raleigh on Wednesday for trying to make one too many illegal ATM withdrawals has now been connected to more than 20 crimes in Chapel Hill, according to local authorities.
Eugene Cameron Flint, 22, of 1818 Gorman St. A, in Raleigh, was arrested at 1:30 a.m. at the RBC Center while attempting to break into an ATM inside the arena.
Now both Chapel Hill police and the UNC Department of Public Safety have sent charges to Raleigh to be served on Flint by the Wake County Sheriff’s Department.
DPS issued 19 separate warrants on Flint on Thursday, including two related to an ATM stolen from Carmichael Auditorium and three related to ATMs that were robbed in the Smith Center, said DPS spokesman Randy Young.
The other 14 warrants issued by DPS are related to incidents in and around Woollen Gym, Fetzer Gym and other recreational complexes, he said.
Most of the incidents involved larcenies of wallets, phones and other personal property.
DPS warrants will include both misdemeanor and felony charges.
Stolen ATMs are valued at $4,000, plus the cash that was inside, he said.
Chapel Hill police have sent charges in connection with two separate incidents in the town — an ATM stolen from Bruegger’s Bagels in Eastgate Shopping Center and a stolen check cashed at the Carolina Central Bank in University Square, said police spokeswoman Jane Cousins.
