The suspect in an April 10 break-in wasn’t satisfied with entering her victim’s home once – she allegedly came back for more.

Tykayla Danielle Mason, 28, was charged with breaking, entering and larceny, and placed under $5,000 secured bond in the incident. Her address was listed on detention center documents as 47 Midway Rd., Whiteville.

Anna Nikole Brown contacted the sheriff’s office around 1 p.m. April 10 to report that Mason had entered the home and stolen a MacBook Pro computer and Iphone, valued at $1,900 total. While Brown was reporting the incident, Mason allegedly returned to the Peacock Road home, taking an $80 sex toy and 60 Zoloft pills.
The victim and the suspect were acquainted, according to the report.
