Can’t the residents of Johnston County do better than this? Johnston County is like living in a third world country.

Be vigilant and stay armed. Trust no one.
Always carry . Always.
So the front car took a chance that the victims weren’t armed, and also happened to luck out and stop someone who was carrying $400 in cash? I’m sure this was totally random.

More than likely it was a drug deal gone bad. They probably thought they were going to get drugs but instead got beat and robbed of their money. So sad and be glad they weren’t killed.
I often travel that road since I live nearby! I wondered if they were being watched at the ATM on Pritchard and then followed home because they were known to have cash, leading to a robbery.
