A suspect in a string of burglaries and thefts of cell phones at Verizon wireless stores is in custody in Maryland.
Twenty-one-year-old Robert Dawson of Cambridge faces more than 30 charges in Dorchester and Talbot counties after completing nearly a year behind bars on similar charges in Sussex County, Del.
The burglary spree in the two states occurred between April and July 2007. According to charging documents, Dawson smashed windows with rocks to get inside the stores. Some were targeted more than once.
The documents say Dawson became a suspect after an alleged accomplice named him and two others in the break-ins.
Dawson also is charged with motor vehicle theft.
