CASE UPDATE: DEPUTIES SERVE WARNKE WITH OUTSTANDING WARRANTS

Hillsborough, NC (July 3, 2025) – Last night, deputies with the Orange County Sheriff’s Office served Zacharia Nathaniel Warnke, 32, with warrants for breaking and entering, larceny after breaking and entering, and conspiracy. The charges stemmed from the theft of more than $10,000 worth of household goods, appliances, and building materials from a residential property undergoing renovation just outside the city limits of Hillsborough.

In June, deputies arrested William Cox, 34, in connection with the same case. Both men are from Rougemont.

Warnke did not receive a bond; under the provisions of the Pretrial Integrity Act, he will remain in the detention center until his first court appearance.
