Two arrests were made Thursday in connection with an incident last week during which a Wake Electric Membership Corporation truck was struck by gunfire.
Vance County Sheriff Curtis Brame said his officers executed a search warrant at 240 Island Creek Estates Rd. as part of the investigation of the June 23 incident. According to a press statement, Brame said deputies responded to a shots fired call on Island Creek Estates Rd. about 3 a.m.
Upon the arrival, law enforcement discovered that a Wake Electric Membership Corporation truck had been fired upon.
The company’s truck was struck twice by gunfire. Although occupied at the time, no injuries were reported.
The Vance County Sheriff’s Office Criminal Investigations Division responded to the area and conducted an investigation into the incident, which resulted in the search of the residence. Automatic assault rifles, handguns, magazines and a large quantity of ammunition was discovered.
Arrested were Di’quayveon Hargrove, 24, and Datwain Henderson, Jr., 22.
Each has been charged with discharging a firearm into an occupied vehicle.
Bond was set at $50,000 for each man.
Anyone with information regarding this incident is urged to contact the Vance County Sheriff’s Office.
