VIRGINIA BEACH — A 24-year-old Virginia Beach man is accused of burglarizing three homes in the Holland Pines neighborhood while their residents were asleep inside.
Drake Eric Hermann, of the 1000 block of Tivoli Crescent, is charged with grand larceny, attempt to commit a non-capital offense, credit card theft, credit card fraud and two counts of burglary, according to the Virginia Beach Police Department.
The charges stem from three burglaries that happened overnight on March 5 and March 6 in the 1700 block of Chestwood Drive and the 2900 block of Chestwood Bend.
Police believe Hermann entered the homes through unlocked, rear garage doors. He’s accused of taking several personal items from the homes, including credit cards, purses and identification cards, according to the VBPD.
During their investigation, the VBPD also identified Hermann as a person they believe is linked to two Oct. 30, 2017 home burglaries in the 1200 block of Gladiola Crescent and the 900 block of Wildflower Court.
He’s currently being held in the Virginia Beach Correctional Center without bond.
Hermann is also charged with similar crimes in Newport News and York County, according to court records.
