High Point police arrested Prince Kaka, 25, after finding him inside Triangle Grocery and later linking him, through surveillance footage, to an alleged break-in at the nearby Arthur Cassell Memorial Transitional House for veterans. The investigation also produced felony charges involving two vehicles, police said. Police announced the arrest and charges against Kaka.
Police say investigation connected two locations
Officers responded to Triangle Grocery on Hickory Chapel Road after the business reported a break-in and money missing from its cash register. Police said Kaka was found inside the store and arrested there, according to the High Point Police Department.
Investigators also examined a separate burglary report at the Arthur Cassell Memorial Transitional House on True Lane. Police said surveillance video showed a man entering through a rear window and moving through the facility’s office area; investigators identified the person in the footage as Kaka. Stolen security cameras were reported from the facility, and the suspect rummaged through two unlocked vehicles outside; nothing was reported stolen, according to the department.
The transitional-house case lists felony breaking and entering, felony larceny after breaking and entering, and two counts of breaking or entering a motor vehicle. The Triangle Grocery case includes charges of injury to real property and resisting, delaying or obstructing a public officer. Police said Kaka was booked into the Guilford County Jail under a total bond of $17,000.
Why the second location matters
The Arthur Cassell facility is not simply an office or commercial property. Open Door Ministries of High Point describes it as residential housing for 24 veterans experiencing homelessness. Its case-management services include help with employment, disability income, mental and physical health, and substance-abuse treatment.
That setting gives the alleged burglary a distinct community impact, but the available police and ministry accounts do not specify whether residents were displaced, whether services were interrupted, or how the facility’s security operations were affected. Those details remain unknown.
The broader crime picture is citywide, not case-specific
The arrest occurred as High Point’s official crime data showed a decline in overall property crime. The High Point Police Department’s 2025 annual report said property crime fell 21% from the prior year, with decreases in larceny, burglary and motor-vehicle reports; motor-vehicle thefts fell 54%, the department reported in its 2025 annual report.
Those figures provide citywide context, not an explanation for the allegations at Triangle Grocery or the transitional house. They also do not show whether incidents around either location increased or decreased. The immediate case remains centered on police allegations, surveillance evidence and the charges filed against Kaka; a court will determine the outcome.
