The investigation also led to the arrest of Theodore Nicholas Papouloglou, 32, of Gaston for receiving the property allegedly stolen from the demo home.

Edwards is still being sought by police and is believed to frequent areas around Interstate 95, particularly hotels and stores.

Anyone with information on the whereabouts of Edwards is encouraged to call 911.

Love, of Liles Road, was charged following a traffic stop by Weldon Officer Erin Gregory, who was aware of the outstanding warrants against him.

Love faces charges of breaking and entering, larceny after breaking and entering, possession of stolen property, obtaining property by false pretense and conspiracy to obtain property by false pretense.

He is currently awaiting a July 27 court date.

Edwards faces charges of breaking and entering, larceny after breaking and entering, possession of stolen goods and conspiracy to obtain property by false pretense.

Meanwhile, Papouloglou, of Scott Street, faces a charge of receiving stolen property.

Captain Andy Jackson confirmed that some $3,800 worth of appliances and furniture allegedly stolen from the business on April 30 was recovered at  Papouloglou's home.

The inventory of items recovered includes a sofa, love seat, coffee table, two end tables, a GE refrigerator and stove, a wing bed, mattress and box springs, a nightstand and armoire.
