Aberdeen police are investigating a home-invasion robbery that happened early Wednesday morning at Blue's Crossing apartments at 700 Ray's Mills Road.

Police say a Hispanic male reported that someone knocked on his door about 2 a.m. He told police that when he answered the door, three black men forced him to turn around and pushed him back into the residence.

"They forced him into the bedroom, hit him on the head and ransacked the apartment," said Jim Foster, deputy chief with the Aberdeen police.

The suspects left the apartment with an undisclosed amount of cash, Foster said.

The victim's roommate reported to police that he was outside the apartment early that morning when he was assaulted by three black men.

Both men suffered injuries, Foster said, but they did not seek medical attention.

Truck Thefts: A Siler City man was arrested Sept. 28 in connection with the theft of two tractor-trailer trucks from the West End area.

Andy Brian Moody, 32, faces numerous charges, including two counts of felony larceny, according to a press release from the Sheriff's Office.

The investigation started when the Sheriff's Office received a report Aug. 6 from a West End man that his tractor-trailer had been removed from a tobacco field near his residence, according to the release. Another report was made Thursday that a semitrailer had been stolen from C&M Carriers Inc. on Doubs Chapel Road. It was also reported that during the larceny, a fuel tank was struck, spilling 550 gallons of diesel fuel.

Moody was arrested by Sheriff's Office deputies after the two missing trailers were located at D.H. Griffin Wrecking Co. in Biscoe. While arresting Moody, deputies discovered three grams of methamphetamine, 48 grams of marijuana, items of drug paraphernalia and $4,000.

Investigators learned of 12 tractor-trailers taken to D.H. Griffin by Moody since July 19, including the two that were reported stolen from Moore County, all having the vehicle identification number (VIN) removed from them.

The N.C. Division of Motor Vehicles is assisting the Moore County Sheriff's Office with determining the origin of the remaining trucks.

Moody was charged with two counts of felony larceny, two counts of felony possession of stolen property, one count of misdemeanor injury to property, felony possession with intent to sell and deliver schedule II controlled substance, felony possession of schedule II controlled substance, felony possession with intent to sell and deliver marijuana, felony possession of marijuana, felony maintaining a vehicle for controlled substance, and misdemeanor possession of drug paraphernalia.

He was jailed, with his bail set at $125,000.

Deputies also arrested Tara Michelle Barth, 27, of Dorsett Road, Siler City. She was with Moody when he was arrested.

She has been charged with felony possession with intent to sell and deliver schedule II controlled substance, felony possession of schedule II controlled substance, felony possession with intent to sell and deliver marijuana, felony possession of marijuana, and misdemeanor possession of drug paraphernalia.

She was jailed, with her bail set at $31,000.
