    SHIPPENSBURG, Pennsylvania (WGAL) — A man was taken into custody after breaking into his ex-girlfriend’s garage and causing damage in Cumberland County, according to Pennsylvania State Police.

Troopers said the woman called police several times throughout the night, reporting that her ex-boyfriend was trying to break into her home on South Queen Street in Shippensburg Borough.

Every time officers arrived at the scene, they were not able to find the suspect, who police identified as Christian Robey, 22, of Chambersburg.

Troopers said they determined that Robey had broken into her garage and had hidden from police.

Robey damaged three tires on the victim’s Porsche and Subaru, causing more than $1,400 in damage, according to investigators.

Police issued a warrant and located Robey in a home on March 12, troopers said.

He was taken to Cumberland County Prison, where he awaits a preliminary hearing.
