An 18-year-old man was arrested Thursday by the Wayne County Sheriff's Office and charged with seven felony offenses in connection with two residential break-ins on Wednesday.

Seaberry was accused of breaking into a home in Belfast and stealing about $2,500 worth of property and a home in Woodside Mobile Home Park off Tommy's Road and stealing about $650 worth of property, Detective Sgt. Carl Lancaster said.
The car used in the break-ins was found abandoned at Carolina Pines Trailer Park on North William Street with the stolen property inside, Lancaster said. Detective Sgt. Ray Brogden assisted in the case.
