GOLDSBORO, N.C. — Two men are facing multiple felony charges following a series of break-ins at homes under construction earlier this month, according to the Wayne County Sheriff’s Office.
On Feb. 7, 2026, deputies responded after an individual reported that several homes in the 100 block of Pilot Station Drive had been broken into. Investigators determined that offenders damaged HVAC units and rough-in electrical wiring while stealing building materials and tools from the properties.
Following what officials described as a thorough investigation, authorities charged 40-year-old Matthew Hunter Carr of South Taylor Street in Goldsboro and 35-year-old Milford Dwain Hollowell of Hopesway Drive in Dudley in connection with the incidents.
Carr is charged with three counts of felony breaking and/or entering, three counts of larceny after breaking and entering, three counts of possession of stolen goods, and injury to property to obtain nonferrous metal. His bond was set at $100,000 secured.
Hollowell faces the same charges: three counts of felony breaking and/or entering, three counts of larceny after breaking and entering, three counts of possession of stolen goods, and injury to property to obtain nonferrous metal. His bond was set at $80,000 secured.
