TWO VEHICLES REPORTED STOLEN FROM HOLLISTER PROPERTY

HOLLISTER, N.C. — Two GMC Envoys were reportedly stolen from a property on Hart Road, off Jeremiah Church Road, during the mid-to-late afternoon hours of Thursday, September 17.

According to information provided to Fighting Crime, the vehicles… a gray Envoy and a light-green Envoy were towed from the yard without the owner’s permission.

Hart Road is a dead-end road, meaning the tow trucks would have entered and exited along the same route. Residents in the area are asked to check security cameras, doorbell cameras or dashcams for any suspicious trucks or activity during that time.

Anyone with information…or footage showing the Envoys or possible tow trucks is asked to contact law enforcement or inbox Fighting Crime.

Please share to help locate these vehicles.

NASH COUNTY ANIMAL SHELTER FAILS STATE FOLLOW-UP INSPECTION OVER VETERINARY CARE OVER A CAT THAT NEEDED MEDICAL CARE AND EXPIRED RABIES VACCINES

NASH COUNTY, N.C. — The Nash County Pet Connection Center failed a state follow-up inspection after an inspector documented concerns involving delayed veterinary care, incomplete and inaccurate records, and animals vaccinated with expired rabies vaccines.

The North Carolina Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services conducted the inspection September 9, 2026, at the county-owned shelter on Eastern Avenue in Rocky Mount.

At the time of the inspection, the facility housed 40 dogs and 24 cats.

According to the report, a cat named Florinda entered the shelter August 27 with an injured leg but was not examined by a veterinarian until September 3. The injury was reportedly visible during the state inspection.

Staff members told the inspector that the shelter’s kennel coordinator had been notified about Florinda’s injury on August 31 and again on September 2.

The shelter’s veterinarian, Dr. Steven Walker, examined Florinda on September 3, diagnosed what appeared to be an old fracture and recommended that the leg be amputated. However, the inspector found no documentation of that examination or recommendation in the cat’s file.

After a rescue group requested X-rays, Florinda was taken to Countryside Animal Hospital on September 8. X-rays confirmed a fracture of her right rear leg, and the veterinary record again recommended amputation.

The report states Florinda received no pain medication while housed at the shelter. A rescue group removed her from the facility while the inspection was underway.

The inspector also found that eight animals housed at the shelter that day had been vaccinated by shelter staff using expired rabies vaccines. Another eight animals adopted during August and September had also reportedly received expired rabies vaccines.

Because those vaccinations may not be valid, the report states the animals should be considered unvaccinated and must be vaccinated again. The new owners of the adopted animals had not been contacted by shelter staff as of the inspection.

The state also cited the shelter for failing to maintain a record of Florinda’s veterinary care and for inaccurate paperwork after an incorrect stray form was placed in her file, creating confusion about where she came from.

The follow-up inspection did find that several problems identified during a July 17 inspection had been corrected. An opening in the ceiling of the stray-cat room had been covered, all animals had access to water, and food and water containers were being properly disinfected.

Despite those corrections, the state disapproved the September 9 inspection because of the new findings involving veterinary care, records and expired vaccines.
