Buxton and Avon, NC – September 8, 2024 – If you’ve been around Buxton and Avon lately, you may have heard some unsettling news about a series of breaking and entering and larceny incidents that struck the area over the weekend. But thanks to the vigilant work of the C-District deputies, local residents can breathe a little easier today. They’ve worked diligently to crack the case and apprehend two suspects involved in these troubling events.
The incidents occurred between September 7 and 8, prompting immediate action from the deputies. On the morning of September 8, around 10:45 a.m., they successfully located and stopped two individuals near the 4800 block of Quidley Lane in Buxton. Their situational awareness and commitment to community safety led to a significant breakthrough in the ongoing investigation.
During the stop, deputies discovered several of the stolen items right there in the suspects’ vehicle. This detail not only helped them identify the individuals but also made it clear that they were indeed linked to the crime spree that had shaken the local community. It’s a relief to know that those responsible won’t be roaming free for long!
The suspects arrested have been identified as Wyatt H. Kennedy, 33, and Madison P. Hershberger, 28, both residents of Buxton. They face a lengthy list of charges, showcasing the seriousness of their alleged actions. The charges include:
On top of that, Kennedy has an additional charge of misdemeanor larceny of motor fuel. With such a range of charges, it’s evident that the duo was deeply involved in the recent thefts.
