Wilkesboro Man Held for Nearly 20 Burglaries
Friday, January 26, 2007 at 4:22PM A Wilkesboro man has been arrested, and faces charges on nearly 20 burglaries at homes in Wilkes and Ashe counties over the past few months. Deputies from Ashe and Wilkes counties along with Wilkesboro and North Wilkesboro Police, raided a house at 515 Corporation in in Wilkesboro this week, executing a search warrant issued by a judge in Ashe County.
During the raid, Wilkes county deputies recovered property believed to have been stolen in at least a dozen recent burglaries -- so much property they haven't released a full list of it because they're still contacting the owners to come identify it. Ashe county deputies identified property from four break-ins they've been investigating recently, and Wilkesboro and North Wilkesboro police believe each agency has solved at least one recent burglary as well.
Gene Wayne Haymond, who turns 36 next weekend, is being held in Ashe county, and is likely to face multiple charges. Deputies and officers with all four agencies involved continue their investigation of the case.
