Wendell Home Robbery: Man Arrested Over Alleged $4,500 Theft
I remember reading about this case and feeling that sinking mix of shock and concern — someone’s home violated, valuables gone, and a community left on edge. In Wendell, that’s exactly what happened when 25-year-old Daniel Coffey was arrested by Wake County sheriff’s deputies.
