Cody Alton Gray Branch, 16, and the 15 year-old, whose name wasn't released because of his age, were charged with felony burning a building, felony breaking and entering and felony larceny. Branch was being held in the Johnston County jail under a $60,000 bond.
The crime happened Tuesday evening on Friendship Church Road, outside of Middlesex. The mobile home was destroyed, authorities said.
Authorities said the incident isn't linked to a series of arsons across Johnston County last year.
