Looters raided shops, homes and cars as Hurricane Florence slammed into North Carolina, according to a report Friday.

At least four crooks were busted near Wilmington, where the powerful storm forced residents to evacuate — creating a looter paradise of empty buildings, local cops told WWAY News.

One of the thieves busted into a mini-mart in Leland and led cops on a chase before he was arrested Thursday night.

Dashaun Smith, 25, and Brandon Bellamy, 30, were charged with possession of burglary tools along with breaking into Tommy’s Mini Mart in Leland, according to the outlet. They are both being held on a $20,000 bond.

Devin Harris, 21, and Justice Harris, 18, were both charged with breaking and entering a motor vehicle. They are both being held on a $5,000 bond, according to WWAY News.

Other looters, who were not named, were caught breaking into private homes, police said.
