Some examples of crimes are: stolen property (larceny), intentional damage to personal or real property (vandalism), Break-ins that are not in progress (burglary), vehicles stolen that are not in progress (motor vehicle theft), certain misplaced property (lost property). It will be necessary to file a report "in person" on runaways and/or missing persons as these reports require a complainant`s signature. Once the report has been received for processing you will receive a phone call, during normal business hours, from the Lincoln County Sheriff`s Office verifying your request. The reporting of a false crime is illegal in the state of North Carolina under statute 14-225: False reports to law enforcement agencies or officers. Please be on notice that it is a misdemeanor to make any false, misleading, or unfounded report, through this website, that is intended to interfere with, hinder, or obstruct a law enforcement officer from doing his or her duties. Violators will be charged.
