Joseph Haswell Arrested on 14 Felony Counts in Guilford Vehicle Break-ins

The Guilford County Sheriff's Office arrested Joseph Gene Haswell, 33, on Feb. 26, charging him with a string of unlocked vehicle break-ins reported on Feb. 18-19 in neighborhoods along Strawberry Road and NC 150 East. Haswell faces 14 felony breaking and entering motor vehicle counts along with larceny and other related charges, and is being held without bond in Greensboro.

Deputies say the incidents under investigation occurred across residential areas that include the Strawberry Road corridor and stretches of NC 150 East. Investigators characterized the offenses as break-ins of unsecured vehicles; the reported dates for those incidents are Feb. 18 and Feb. 19. The sheriff’s office carried the arrest action that culminated in charges being filed on Feb. 26.

Booking records list Haswell by full name and age and show the set of felony counts filed against him for breaking and entering motor vehicles. In addition to the 14 felony counts, the charging documents include larceny allegations and unspecified additional counts tied to the same case. Prosecutors and the Guilford County Sheriff’s Office will determine whether bond conditions or additional charges are applied as the case moves through the local court system.

The arrests and charges stem from an investigation led by the Guilford County Sheriff's Office patrol and investigations units; deputies made contact with Haswell and took him into custody on Feb. 26 in Greensboro. He remains in custody in Greensboro with no bond listed at the time of booking. Court actions such as an initial appearance or arraignment were not listed in the booking summary provided with the arrest information.

The pattern of reported break-ins along Strawberry Road and NC 150 East over two consecutive dates prompted the sheriff’s office response that culminated in multiple felony charges. Local residents whose vehicles were entered on Feb. 18 or Feb. 19 can expect follow-up from investigators as the case progresses. Haswell’s charges will be processed through Guilford County’s criminal courts, where formal scheduling and any additional disclosures will be recorded in court filings.
