A string of car break-ins on Johnson City Housing Authority property lands a suspect in jail.

According to a report from the Johnson City Police Department, witnesses say Eric Gunn, 25, broke into multiple vehicles in the South Broadway and Pardee Street areas before leaving the scene.

Officers said a description from witness testimony and video matched Gunn, who entered a nearby Family Dollar store before police moved-in, arresting the suspect.
