Two kayaks were stolen in the second incident, just two units from the first incident occurrence. The victim provided Wrightsville Beach Police with the original purchase receipt for the kayaks and WBPD was able to recover the kayaks after tracking them to Topsail Pawn. The two suspects in the kayak larceny are Robert Jones and Joshua Francka, both 21-year-old white males from Southport.

 


 

Car airborne on South Lumina

Wrightsville Beach Police responded to a single car accident at the corner of South Lumina Avenue and Snyder Street just north of the Blockade Runner Beach Resort around 2 a.m., Thursday, May 30, to find a dark gray Honda Accord stuck on top of the yellow bollards on the side of the street.

The vehicle, driven by 41-year-old Michael William Cole of Apex, was traveling south down South Lumina Avenue and continued straight into the curb and embankment instead of taking a right on Snyder Street, which launched the car onto the bollards.

Cole was arrested for suspicion of driving while impaired.
