The owner of Goldsboro Used Furniture was robbed for the second time in two weeks some time between July 1 and July 5, according to a police report filed Tuesday.
The report says Goldsboro Used Furniture owner Wiley Williamson left a truck, last known to be secure on July 1, outside his business with several items in the bed of the vehicle.
When Williamson drove back by his business on Tuesday, the items were missing.
The police report says that two white stoves, four washing machines and two dryers were stolen from the bed of the truck. The items are valued at roughly $800.
Williamson was the victim of a robbery inside his business June 23, when 30-year-old Phillip Andrew Kirby allegedly entered Goldsboro Used Furniture and struck Williamson in the head with an unknown metal object before stealing more than $200 in cash off Williamson's person.
Kirby was arrested June 26 and charged with robbery with a dangerous weapon.
No items were taken from the business during the June 23 robbery.
