Family Dollar break in
FAYETTEVILLE, N.C. — Cumberland County sheriff's detectives arrested two men Thursday who were accused of looting a Family Dollar at 3734 Cumberland Road in Fayetteville.

Randy Mitchell Walker, 56, and Derrick Hilliard, 36, are accused of breaking the store's glass door and taking multiple items, including five cases of Corona beer, dishwasher pods and five bags of chips.

The sheriff's office responded to the store just before 9 p.m. Thursday. About an hour later, Walker called 911 and reported that his home in the 2400 block of Ireland Drive was broken into.

When deputies arrived at Walker’s house, they found the shirt that that the suspect wore during the break-in on Walker’s front porch with glass from the Family Dollar’s door still on it. Deputies also recovered several full cold bottles of Corona and dishwasher pods in the trash can that Walker and Hilliard were standing next to.

Detectives recovered the stolen chips, Coronas and the gloves that Hilliard allegedly wore when he broke into the Family Dollar.

Both men were charged with breaking and entering, larceny and possession of stolen goods. They are each being held on a $20,000 secure bond. Their first appearance is set for Monday at 2:30 p.m.
