The two were arrested yesterday
after a four-hour manhunt.

It started after deputies were
told that two men had stolen guns and
electronics from a home in Elon.

Deputies say a few hours later,
they found 33 year-old Dustin Holloway
hiding inside a home.

Within two more hours, they also
arrested 26-year-old Samuel Morris

Investigators say the stolen
weapons were recovered from a wooded
