Hendersonville police on Tuesday charged a 19-year-old local man with four felonies relating to car break-ins and possessing meth.

Through aggressive investigations from patrol officers and with the support of our community, officers of the Hendersonville Police Department were able to identify and obtain warrants on a suspect for a series of vehicle break-ins that occurred in the Hyman Avenue area of the city, Chief Herbert Blake announced.

Ramize Ramirez of Hendersonville was arrested after a vehicle stop on May 30 on Monday afternoon. He was charged with one count of Breaking and Entering of a motor vehicle, one count of Unlawful Obtaining of a Credit Card and one count of Financial Credit Card Fraud. He was also charged with possession of methamphetamine at the time of his arrest. He was jailed under a $19,000 bond.

Investigations into other related cases are ongoing by patrol officers and detectives, Blake said. He reminded residents that almost all vehicle break-ins occur in unlocked vehicles and warned them to lock their vehicles and conceal valuables or items that may thieves steal.
