Four people, including one previously reported in The Spin, were arrested in three thefts over the weekend, according to the Halifax County Sheriff’s Office.

On July 25, Deputy Chris High and Detective Tyree Davis investigated a report of a breaking and entering and larceny of several firearms in the Coyote Drive area of Enfield. The suspects were found at the location of the incident claiming to have heard it was broken into  before it was ever reported to law enforcement.

Through further investigation by Deputy High and Detective Davis, Eric Lynch, 43, and Charles Carter, both of the Enfield area, were arrested and charged with one count of  second-degree burglary and larceny of a firearm.

Both men were held in the Halifax County Jail on $4,000 secured bonds with Aug. 4 court dates.

Also included in the roundup was a crime which The Spin first reported yesterday where a 31-year-old Roanoke Rapids man was charged Sunday in a breaking, entering and larceny in the Colonial Drive area of Roanoke Rapids.

Deputy Joe Sealey charged James Michael Doughten with breaking and entering, larceny after breaking and entering, two counts of possession of stolen goods, larceny of a firearm, possession of a firearm by a convicted felon and injury to real property,

Doughten was jailed on $25,000 bond and has a Sept. 30 court date.

This case was solved because of neighbors looking out for one another, the sheriff’s office said yesterday.

In another report the sheriff’s office said in the early morning hours of July 25,  Deputy G.H. Teal responded to a call on N.C. Highway 481 where the victim reported he was robbed.

Teal determined an undisclosed amount of money was taken from the victim’s pocket by force, damaging the pants pocket.

After further investigation, Deputy Teal obtained warrants and Deputy B. C. Griffin later charged Angela Adkins Mitchell with one count of common law robbery, one count of simple assault and one count of injury to real property. She was held in the Halifax County Jail under a $500 secured bond with a Sept. 9 court date.

“The swift and determined investigation of Deputies Sealey, High, Griffin and Teal led to all the offenders being taken into custody quickly and some of the property being returned to the owners,” Detective Jonathan Merritt said in a press release.
