Markus Hodge, 18, was arrested earlier this week by the Cherokee Sheriff's Office in connection with a hit and run involving a stolen car.
While searching his house, investigators said they found evidence linking Hodge with numerous car break-ins in the Towne Lake area.
Detectives located several iPods, three Sirius radios, three XM radios, an MP3 player, a digital camera, a radar detector, cellular phone chargers, several pairs of men's and women's sunglasses and other personal items such as wallets, driver's licenses and other ID.
Hodge was charged with 14 counts of entering auto, one count of theft by taking motor vehicle, two counts of striking a fixed object, one count of fleeing and attempting to elude, one count of reckless driving, one count of obstruction of an officer and one count of driving with no license. He is being held at the Cherokee County Adult Detention Center with his bond set at $132,860.
Sheriff's Office Public Information Officer Lt. Jay Baker said although 14 victims have been identified so far, it is likely there are more who have not filed police reports.
Anyone who lives in the Towne Lake Hills South area and has had something stolen from their car in the last 30 days is asked to call the sheriff's office at (770) 928-0239.
