Chapel Hill Police arrested a pair of Carrboro residents wanted on arson charges stemming from a June incident.

Shawn Edward Hoffman and Kathleen Christine Moran of Old Fayetteville Road were taken into custody on Wednesday.

Each faces felony charges of first degree arson and conspiracy to commit a felony. The pair allegedly set fire to a shed on Crest Drive in Chapel Hill earlier this summer.

Chapel Hill Police Sergeant Bryan Walker said lawn care equipment stored in the shed was found to be missing after fire fighters extinguished the flames.

“They should have been able to find remnants in the shed, even though it was burned,” says Walker. “They did not, so they determined that property was stolen.”

Hoffman is being held on $15,000 bond; Moran’s bond is set at $20,000. Both are being held in the Orange County Jail.
