Police arrested two N.C. State students, Tamyka Steinbeck, a freshman in biochemistry, and Christopher Proctor, also a freshman in biochemistry, and Jacob Lockerman, who is not affiliated with State, yesterday in response to an alarm at 4 a.m. from the Rite Aid in a Chapel Hill shopping center.
Steinbeck, Proctor and Lockerman are suspected of breaking in the store.
The Chapel Hill Police Department could not comment on the arrests outside of normal business hours.
However, according to a WRAL report, police found both Lockerman and Proctor inside the store with bags filled of prescription drugs. Officers also found a handgun.
Campus Police Captain Jon Barnwell said since it was in Chapel Hill, Campus Police assisted in the execution of search warrants for the on-campus residents.
The suspects were charged with felony breaking and entering, damage to real property, conspiracy to commit a felony and possession of burglary tools.
They were all held under bond in the Orange County jail Thursday.
“As students they will face the consequences of their actions from the University,” Barnwell said.
