The Sheriff’s Office shares that two suspects were arrested within hours of the crime. Thanks to quick community reporting, deputies were able to locate individuals matching the description of the suspects and found them in possession of items that tied them to the robbery. One of the suspects, age 18, was charged immediately. The second suspect is a juvenile, and under North Carolina law the Sheriff’s Office cannot discuss juvenile court proceedings, but both cases are moving forward.

The Sheriff’s Office emphasized: “It is not okay to rob innocent people at gunpoint, and we condemn harming innocent animals.” They also expressed their commitment to holding those responsible accountable.
