2 NC men arrested in string of robberies, killing

CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Two men have been arrested in a string of robberies in North Carolina and one has been charged with murder.

Multiple media outlets reported that 19-year-old Jamal Pittman and 17-year-old Steven Chambers were arrested Tuesday.

Police say Pittman has been charged with killing 25-year-old Jared Bolli in Pineville on Sunday.

Chambers is charged in the investigation of nine robberies in the Charlotte area of gas stations, fast food locations and a grocery store since mid-December.

Police did not say what linked Pittman to Bolli’s death.

Seventeen-year-old Jacob Case already has been arrested in Bolli’s death.

It was unclear Thursday if the men had attorneys.
