Buncombe County deputies seek suspects in Dix Creek Road break-in

Detectives with the Buncombe County Sheriff's Office asked the public to help identify a man and woman wanted for questioning after a break-in at a business on Dix Creek Road. The case centered on 480 Dix Creek 1 Road, and the break-in was reported June 15.

The search did not stay open long. A later update said all three suspects in the case had been arrested. That update identified Brandon Matthew Singleton and Michael Dylan Jenkins as two of the suspects and said both were wanted on several charges in Buncombe County tied to the break-in.

For nearby business owners, the important detail is how narrowly this case was tied to one commercial address. Investigators were not describing a broad crime wave with no starting point; they were looking at a specific break-in at 480 Dix Creek 1 Road and trying to connect names and faces to what happened there. Any witness account, security camera image, or vehicle description from the Dix Creek Road area on June 15 would have been the kind of information most likely to help deputies move from a general description of suspects to arrests.

The case also landed in a county where property crimes have remained a concern. Buncombe County has seen more storage-building break-ins after Helene, and deputies have previously highlighted that pattern as part of their property-crime workload. That matters for small businesses and outbuildings along roads like Dix Creek, where owners often depend on limited lighting, cameras and neighbors noticing unusual traffic after hours.

For owners in the area, the practical lesson is to check whether cameras captured activity near 480 Dix Creek 1 Road around the time of the June 15 break-in and to preserve any footage that might still be on a recorder or phone. In cases like this, the fastest tips are usually the simplest ones: a face, a plate, a car, a time stamp or a clear image that places someone at the scene.
