| Two
Teens Arrested for Stealing Golf Cart |
| |
 |
Two teenagers
were arrested Tuesday after a man reportedly found them on his son's stolen
golf cart and detained them until officers arrived.
Detectives later
charged Joshua Dean Morris (left), 16, of 314
Randolph Street, Morganton; and a fourteen-year-old juvenile who's name is
being withheld because of his age. The two are charged with felonious larceny
and felonious possession of stolen goods. |
|
| Henry Eugene Deal of 3271 Dorinda Deal Drive
told officers Tuesday the golf cart had been stolen from a wooded area near his
residence. |
| |
| A short time later, one of Deal's neighbors
reportedly called Deal and told him they had spotted two teens riding the golf
cart in an area off Crawley Higgins Road and Connelly Road. |
| |
| Deputies responded and began searching the area.
Several hours later, Deal's father spotted the suspects and detained them until
deputies arrived. |
| |
| The golf cart, valued at $1,500, had sustained
minor damage and was returned to Deal, authorities said. |
| |
| Joshua Morris will have a first court appearance
on Friday after being placed under a $2,000 secured bond. The case against the
fourteen-year-old will be heard in Burke County Juvenile Court on a future
date. |
