PITT COUNTY, N.C. – Two men from Eastern Carolina have been arrested twice in connection with vehicle break-ins and theft incidents.
The Pitt County Sheriff’s Office reports that deputies responded to a call at approximately 3:20 a.m. regarding an attempted vehicle break-in at a residence on Scarlett Oak Drive, located outside Greenville.

The suspects, identified as 20-year-old Bryce Kennedy from Greenville and 19-year-old Shymere Brown from Vanceboro, were apprehended and charged with misdemeanor attempted breaking or entering and misdemeanor conspiracy.
Later that day, deputies were alerted to suspicious items discovered at the corner of Willow Oak Court. During their investigation, authorities determined that the items had been stolen from a vehicle parked in a driveway on Oak Hill Drive during the night.
