Asheville, NC a Democrat-run tourist town sees 200% surge in break-ins amid violent crime spike

The Asheville Police Department, which responded to 41 break-ins throughout 2022, has already fielded 11 reports of break-ins in 2023 as of Feb. 1, according to local ABC affiliate WLOS.

Chris Faber, whose bar in downtown Asheville was targeted twice last month within a span of a few days, told the outlet that a suspect broke into his establishment and stole about 20 bottles of whiskey and up to $800 in cash.

The suspect was then reportedly recorded on surveillance video breaking into a neighboring business and stealing from its cash register.
