Burglary suspect held at gunpoint by North Carolina man

RANDOLPH COUNTY, N.C. (WGHP) -- An Asheboro man is in custody after a victim allegedly caught him stealing from one of his cars, according to the Randolph County Sheriff's Office.

At about 4:37 a.m. Wednesday, deputies responding to a burglary in progress on Old Lexington Road found a man sitting on the ground next to a carport with the burglary victim holding him at gunpoint.

The victim told the sheriff's office he was leaving for work when he noticed that two of his vehicles had been ransacked.

He went back inside to tell others and get his gun. When he came back, he heard a noise in the carport and reportedly found the suspect trying to hide in the front passenger seat of one of the vehicles.

The suspect, Alfred Seth Spivey, 28, of Asheboro, was taken into custody and searched. Deputies say they found a driver's license, Social Security card, multiple credit cards and papers, all with various identities, as well as ammunition and electronics.

Spivey was charged with five counts of felony breaking or entering a motor vehicle, five counts of felony financial card theft, four counts of misdemeanor larceny and four counts of misdemeanor possession of stolen goods.
