DeLoatch said a break in the case came when Britt attempted to pawn one of three weapons stolen. The weapon he tried to pawn in Greenville Friday was stolen Thursday, the captain said.
He was jailed on $38,500 secured bond and had a first court appearance today. Court records do immediately show his next scheduled court appearance.
Meanwhile, DeLoatch said Kwame Harris, 26, of Woodland, was charged with one count of felony breaking and entering; one count of felony possession of stolen goods and one count of felony larceny.
He was jailed on $30,500 secured bond. He also had his first court appearance today but no further information was immediately available on his next court date.
Warrants have also been filed in the case for the arrest of Derryel Bell of Woodland, who frequents areas in Hertford County.
He is wanted for two counts of felony larceny; two counts of possession of stolen good and two counts of felony breaking and entering.
DeLoatch said two shotguns and one rifle were taken in the break-ins. He said the trio could possibly be tied to other break-ins in that area of Northampton County.
In a statement, Northampton County Sheriff Jack Smith said, “I would like to thank Detective Sergeant J. Jenkins, Deputy J. Britt and other members of the sheriff's office for their diligent effort in solving these cases.”
Smith also said the Murfreesboro Police Department, Chowan University Police as well as the police departments of Conway, Ahoskie and Garysburg assisted. Northampton County EMS stations 7 and 4 also assisted, he said.
