Alleged burglar arrested after breaking into package closet at South End condos

CHARLOTTE — An alleged burglar has been arrested after he was caught on video breaking into a package closet at a South End condominium complex in early January, officials with the condo stated.

William Anthony Dibella, 22, was arrested on Feb. 8 in connection with the crime, CMPD said.

The thief somehow got through the fob-controlled front doors of the Village of South End condos off South Boulevard at about 1:30 a.m., condo management stated in an email to residents.

He pried open the package locker, which is secured with a keypad, and stole about six items before leaving the complex from somewhere else in the complex.

Condo association board members provided the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department with surveillance video.

CMPD identified Dibella as a suspect four days after the break-in.

Dibella was arrested on Feb. 8 and faces charges related to the break-in, along with multiple failure-to-appear charges.

The condo’s management company repaired the damaged door to secure the lock.

If you have any information, please call CMPD.
