CAMERON — A man and two women accused of several crimes in Harnett County were recently arrested with the help of several law enforcement agencies.
On Monday around 4:30 p.m., the Harnett County Sheriff's Office arrested Frederick Donte Berryman Jr., 26, with assistance of the Sanford Police Department and the North Carolina Department of Public Safety.
Berryman was charged with first-degree burglary, robbery with a dangerous weapon and two counts of felony conspiracy.
These charges stem from an investigation where HCSO responded to a home invasion on Ted Brown Road in Cameron on March 17. The investigation revealed that a black man, later identified as Berryman, forced entry into the victim's residence with a firearm, where two victims were robbed.
Berryman allegedly broke into the home at 1:46 a.m. and used threats with a handgun to steal an iPhone and $6,000 worth of medicine from Malinda Ann Martin and Tony McNeill, according to a search warrant.
Berryman, who has an address on Lora Ann Lane, southwest of Carolina Trace Country Club, was held on a $100,000 secured bond, according to eCourts. He has a court date set for April 8 at 9 a.m.
Two women were arrested Tuesday and Wednesday in connection with the robbery, a release states.
April Sierra Richardson, 37, and Kace Machel Cox, 37, were also charged with first degree burglary, robbery with a dangerous weapon, and two counts of felony conspiracy.
Richardson, of the 1000 block of Bella Bridge Road in Broadway, was held on a secured $100,000 bond, and Cox, of the 200 block of Alfrada Drive in Cameron, was initially held without bond.
