On April 3, 2023, the Randolph County Sheriff’s Office responded to Cameron Dr., Asheboro, in reference to a burglary of a motor vehicle. Upon arrival, deputies gathered information and determined two suspects had fled the area just prior to arrival; one into the woods to the west of the residence and the other male walking south on Cameron Dr. toward Robbins Cir. Additional deputies responded to patrol the perimeter area and search for the suspects.
