A Nearby Crime

Police say what started as a home burglary turned into much more overnight in south Charlotte.

A man returning to his home near Marvin and Ardrey Kell roads was shot after confronting another man who apparently had burglarized his residence, police said.


Which is why you really aren't safe even in a "safe" neighborhood. We live in a low-crime area, but this incident shows that crime happens everywhere, and that to rely simply on percentages to save you from being a victim is ill-advised.
