Two men charged in the July 24 Weldon Produce armed robbery now face charges in a July 15 break-in on Elm Street in Weldon, the Halifax County Sheriff’s Office reported.

Detective Doug Pilgreen charged Raymond Mills, 19, and Tyrell Brack, 18, both of the Weldon area, for felony breaking and entering and felony larceny after breaking and entering.

On July 15 deputies responded to a residence on Elm Street in the Weldon area where a television was stolen.

Brack was placed in jail under a $5,000 bond and Mills under a $3,000 bond. Both men have Sept. 23 court dates.

Brack and Mills were arrested last week along with James Tyreese Webb, 24, and Jessie Webb, 48, in the Weldon Produce armed robbery on July 24.

The armed robbery occurred at 11 a.m. at the company located at 113 Maple St. Two people entered the building, one of them carrying a gun, and demanded money. The men left the company with an undisclosed amount of money.

The Weldon Police Department has been investigating the case since the robbery and was able to make arrests last week.

Jessie Webb, an employee of the company, was charged with conspiracy to armed robbery while the other men were charged with armed robbery. While only two of the men allegedly went inside, a third man served as lookout.

Mills was already in jail charged with other crimes including break-ins at Weldon City Schools, a case which remains under investigation.
