UNC student accused of breaking into NC Student apartments posts $30K bond

A University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill student
accused of breaking into North Carolina State University apartments and
stealing granola bars appeared in court on Monday.

Luke Wilkinson, 19, is charged with first- and
second-degree burglary, larceny after breaking and entering, possessing or
manufacturing a fraudulent ID, resisting a public officer and underage alcohol
consumption.

On Monday morning, Wilkinson was released after posting
$30,000 bond.

Wilkinson is a freshman student at UNC-Chapel Hill. He is accused
in the breaking and entering of two different apartments at University Towers
on Friendly Drive in Raleigh just before 3 a.m. Friday, according to an arrest
warrant.  

Wilkinson is accused of taking two granola bars from one of
the apartments while female students were sleeping.

Broadcastify – which features almost 6,000 police, fire and
EMS channels as well as two-way aviation, railroad and marine broadcasts –
stated two men opened the door to a room with a bottle of vodka. The audio
states one of them was video recording the other before they left.

WRAL News has asked authorities about the other man
involved.

University Towers is a co-ed dormitory that houses nearly
900 residents.

“Victims, obviously, feel very violated,” Wake County
District Attorney Lorrin Freeman said. “There are different types of cases,
right?

“Certainly, somebody breaking and entering into people’s
homes, there’s a loss of security and safety in that instance.”

Wilkinson is due to appear in court again on May 8.
