Image Asheville is reporting that Asheville police arrested a suspect in connection with a recent string of West Asheville home invasions. The home invasions, and the slow release of information about them by police and the media, have set West Asheville residents on edge. A new Facebook group has been created, and there’s a community meeting scheduled for Wednesday to talk about the crime spree. Here‘s a Google map of the crimes.

This afternoon, several heavily-armed Asheville Police officers arrested a suspect in the string of home-invasions which occured over the past 2 months. The supervisor on the scene confirmed they had warrants for this person and were told by the occupants of the house he was not there. The officers entered anyway on the warrants, and found the suspect hiding in the house.
The Asheville Citizen-Times confirms it.
