On April 18, 2023, a man later identified as Tavarius Raheem Snead reportedly stole a number of lottery tickets from a convenience store in the I-40/NC 42 area and left in a red Chevy Cruze.
On May 5, 2023 around 3:30pm, Snead allegedly kicked in the side door to a home on Yelverton Grove Road near Smithfield then fled in what appears to be the same red car.
