An Atmore man is behind bars after being arrested in connection with recent car burglaries that occurred July 24-25 and Aug. 4, according to the Atmore Police Department.

Chief Chuck Brooks said in a release that APD investigators arrested and charged Rodarius Tyrig Dailey, 22, of Atmore, with five counts of breaking and entering a vehicle, six counts of theft of property III and five counts of theft of property IV.
