Investigators in York County have pinned another house break-in on a group of men who have already been charged in connection to seven burglaries. One of the men remains at large.
Lt. Dennis Ivey of the York-Poquoson Sheriff’s Office said deputies continue to look for 18-year-old Moses Deese of Roam Court in Newport News. Deese is suspected of having taken part in the break-ins, along with 20-year-old Jaquanta Dewberry and 18-year-old Jatavus Dewberry. Both Jaquanta and Jatavus are currently being held at the Virginia Peninsula Regional Jail.
