AHOSKIE – Four arrests have been made in larceny crimes that date back to November of last year.

According to Hertford County Sheriff Juan Vaughan, three people from Ahoskie and one from Colerain have been taken into custody after an investigation by HCSO Capt. Will Liverman into three breaking and entering crimes.

The first was reported as a possible arson on November 13, 2012 at Jernigan Towing on Modlin Road near Ahoskie.
