Lieutenant George Evans saw the four pull into the health department parking lot Monday afternoon.

Warrants had been obtained for the arrests and Evans notified detectives. They were arrested without problems, Detective J.M. Clark noted in a statement.

Clark drew warrants on the four Friday after the sheriff's office received two separate reports of break-ins at the same location within a 24-hour period on Zoo Road South. Tools and collectible coins were taken, he said this morning.

Witness descriptions led investigators to identify a suspect vehicle. Further investigation led Clark to identity four people: Nina Pender, Tara Everette, Jessica Rawles and Benn Flagg.

Pender, 22 of Roanoke Rapids, was charged with two counts of felonious breaking and entering, two counts of larceny after breaking and entering, two counts of felonious possession of stolen goods, obtaining property by false pretense, two counts of conspiracy to commit breaking and entering and conspiracy to obtain property by false pretense.

Everett, 20, and Rawles, 19, of Roanoke Rapids, were charged with two counts of felonious breaking and entering, two counts of larceny after breaking and entering, two counts of felonious possession of stolen goods, two counts of conspiracy to commit breaking and entering, and conspiracy to obtain property by false pretense.

Flagg, 19 of Roanoke Rapids, was charged with one count of felonious breaking and entering, one count of larceny after breaking and entering, one count of felonious possession of stolen goods, conspiracy to commit breaking and entering and conspiracy to obtain property by false pretense.

Clark said the four are close friends and were familiar with the victim. They await May 20 court dates and were jailed on $20,000 bond.
