WHITEVILLE, NC (WECT) - Rakeen Gaffney, Sarah Shipman and Lonnie Willis Jr. are wanted by Whiteville Police, accused of breaking into the home of Kathleen Matlock, the President of Southeastern Community College.
According to police, Kenya Shipman, who was a housekeeper for Matlock, called Matlock several times last month wanting to clean her home. Investigators say the day Shipman found out Matlock was in Texas is when the crime happened.
Officers tell us, earlier this week Kenya Shipman told them her sister Sarah Shipman, Rakeen Gaffney and Lonnie Willis, Jr. were the ones who committed the crime. Police say, a probation officer who lives in the area, also saw them at the house.?
Investigators say they stole nearly 20 guns, a valuable coin and a TV, among other items. Police estimate nearly $17,000 worth of stuff was stolen. Investigators believe Matlock's dog tried protecting the home, but one of the suspects kicked the dog in the face causing the dog to lose an eye.
Earlier this week, Kenya Shipman was questioned and told police her sister, her sister's boyfriend and his friend were the ones who did the crime.
"There were specific targets that were hit. It wasn't like they ransacked the entire house. It's like there were different cabinets, different bags they went directly to. That you would have to live there or be a housekeeper, to know that they're there. So that's what drew us to the housekeeper to start with." Said Sgt. Tedd Dixon with the Whiteville police department.?
Sarah Shipman, Lonnie Willis Jr. and Rakeen Gaffney will face 2nd degree burglary, larceny and animal cruelty charges.
Kenya Shipman will be charged with accessory to the crime.
Anyone who sees these suspects are asked to call police.
