Two Detained After Vehicle Strikes Power Pole on U.S. 1

Two individuals were arrested early Sunday morning, April 7, after their car collided with a power pole on U.S. Highway 1 near Summit Street in Aberdeen. Following the crash, both were taken into custody and received medical evaluations at the hospital. The incident prompted temporary lane closures on the highway as law enforcement conducted their investigation. See details WRAL.com

Moore County Sheriff's Office Impersonated in Jury Duty Scam

Reminder: The Moore County Sheriff’s Office reminds Moore County residents of a scam involving a fake Lt. Leonard from the Sheriff's Office demanding money to avoid arrest for missed jury duty. The Sheriff's Office never solicits money for arrest avoidance and urges residents to report such calls to 910-947-2931.

Town of Vass Looking for Old Pictures

The Town of Vass is looking for old pictures, especially of the Vass Water Treatment Plant. We will try to dig up an email address where you can send them.
