The Cabarrus County Sheriff’s Office is investigating multiple overnight commercial break-ins that have recently occurred in the Harrisburg, Concord, and Kannapolis areas.

In these incidents, suspects have forced entry by breaking glass doors and windows before targeting cash registers and easily accessible cash inside businesses.

We encourage business owners and managers to take a few preventative steps to help reduce the risk of becoming a target:

• Remove cash from registers at closing and secure it in a safe
• Leave cash drawers open and empty when possible
• Ensure surveillance cameras are functioning properly
• Verify alarm systems are activated after business hours
• Maintain adequate exterior lighting around your business
• Report suspicious activity immediately

We also encourage businesses to review their security measures and remain vigilant during overnight hours.

If you observe suspicious activity or need to file a report:
• Call 911 for crimes in progress or emergencies
• Contact our non-emergency line (704)920-3000 for suspicious activity or to file reports
• Submit anonymous tips through Cabarrus County Crime Stoppers here: https://cabarruscrimestoppers.com/submit-a-tip/

🎧 Meet the Voice Behind the Headset – Dispatcher Spotlight

Name (or what people yell when they need help):
B or Brandy Lynn

Years of keeping calm while everyone else panics:
Just about 10

How I ended up behind the headset:
I was a stay-at-home mom for 12 years. We recently moved from upstate NY and all my kids were in school, so it was time for me to find a career in what I loved doing… which is helping others… and here we are 10 years later.

Most unforgettable call (that I can legally share):
Helping a dad deliver his baby boy. Phew… that made me sweat… but hearing that little newborn cry brought tears to my eyes.

One thing the public would never guess about dispatch:
We have a dark sense of humor… you have to!

Dreaded Fun Fact Time – what’s something quirky, weird, or oddly impressive about you?
I have been with my husband since we were 14… shocking, I know! We celebrated 25 years of marriage last year and have 3 beautiful children and a soon-to-be daughter-in-law.

Stay tuned as we continue to introduce you to the voices behind the headset this week. 💛
