Deputies with the Wake County Sheriff's Office have arrested a man they believe is responsible for a rash of convenience store robberies that occurred at multiple locations in Eastern Wake County during the Christmas holiday last month.

Kadarly Mcleod, 28, is facing several charges for the break-ins which includes breaking and entering, attempted common law robbery, attempted breaking and entering, larceny of a motor vehicle and assault on a government official.

Investigators said they believe Mcleod may have been involved in "smash-and-grab" thefts at the following locations:

  • “On the Way” Gas and Grocery, 2501 Old Milburnie
  • Handy Hugo store, 6927 Buffaloe Road
  • BJ’s Grocery Store, 3317 Rolesville Road

Investigators also believe that the suspect could be responsible for a similar incident that occurred on Dec. 9 at the One Stop Shop at the intersection of Fowler and Mitchell Mill Roads.

Wake deputies believe Mcleod and another male are responsible for stealing a full-sized SUV from the Torchlight Academy Charter School in Raleigh to commit the robberies.

Mcleod is in the Wake County Detention Center under a $105,000 bond. His first court appearance was scheduled for Monday.
