A second arrest has been in the investigation into the break-in that occurred shortly after midnight Saturday. Brandon Jackson, 23, of Robeson County was arrested on Friday morning, according to Bladenboro Police Chief Chris Hunt.

Jackson is facing charges of breaking and entering, larceny after breaking and entering, possession of burglary tools, damage to property, and damage to a coin/currency machine.  Chief Hunt said that Jackson was also on probation during the commission of this burglary.

Arrested earlier in the week was Madison Cheshire, 20. She is facing charges of breaking and entering a coin/currency machine and two counts of injury to personal property.

At around midnight on Saturday, Jackson and Cheshire damaged and broke into the coin machines at the Wash and Dryve car wash in Bladenboro and the Bladenboro Laundry Mat. Chief Hunt said on Friday that the duo is accused of breaking into and/or damaging a total of seven coin/currency machines.

“We would to thank the Robeson County Probation and Parole and the Lumberton Police Department for their assistance,” said Chief Hunt.

He added the Bladenboro Police Department appreciate all of the tips that were received on Facebook. Chief Hunt said the citizen’s tips helped to quickly resolve this case and bring these individuals to justice.

“As long as the citizens of Bladen County cooperate with us, hopefully, we will be able to keep criminals deterred,” said Chief Hunt.
