LINCOLNTON - An employee at Advance Auto Parts is facing embezzlement charges after admitting to staging a break-in at the store early Sunday morning.

Lincolnton Police Department responded to a burglary alert from a communications center at 12:30 a.m.  Upon arrival, officers saw that the back door of the business was open. 

A search was performed once the manager arrived, and cops discovered that money had been stolen from the safe, which was left open also.

Investigation continued and a short time later, 21-year-old Yorhany Castillo confessed to staging the breaking and entering.
