Release from the Rowan County Sheriff’s Department:
Solicitation of a Juvenile Via Snapchat
On June 2, 2024, Deputies with the Rowan County Sheriff’s Office received information about an adult male who was soliciting a 14-year-old female for sex, using the popular Snapchat app. In speaking with the complainant in this case, deputies learned that the 14-year-old juvenile had been solicited by a male subject who went by the name of Moe. He was known by the snapchat group as the owner of the Cannon Tobacco and Vape Shop in Kannapolis.
The Snapchat conversation between Moe and the juvenile had been recorded and showed that Moe had solicited the juvenile for sex and had even offered vapes in exchange for sex. Deputies requested the assistance of Kannapolis Police, who sent an officer to that location, but he was unable to locate the suspect.
Deputies with the Rowan County Sheriff’s Office then communicated with Moe through the app. During this interaction, Moe made comments of his intentions to perform sex acts with the juvenile. Deputies advised that the vape store could be clearly seen in the background of the photos that were sent.
Deputies traveled to the Cannon Tobacco and Vape shop in Kannapolis where they were able to identify the suspect from the Snapchat photos. They identified Moe as Mohamed Mosed Ahmed Al-Hareurey by his NC driver’s license. Al-Hareurey was arrested and charged with Solicit a Child by Computer and Solicit Child Prostitution. He was eventually placed in the Rowan County Detention Center under a $250,000.00 secured bond.
Detectives are working to see if there were any other juveniles that may have been victims of Al-Hareurey.
