Surveillance cameras at various businesses helped the Sturgeon Bay Police Department solve the case of stolen and damaged vehicles over the past two months.  

A string of stolen and damaged vehicles that were reported in Sturgeon Bay has led to two arrests with at least one more to come.   Two minors, 16 and 17-year-old boys have been arrested in two separate incidents.  A third individual, an 18-year-old man, responsible for his role in the crimes, has not been located yet.   Assistant Chief of Police Dan Brinkman explains how the security cameras in the community help lead to cracking the case from the six reported incidents that occurred since February 7th.

The 16-year-old is being referred to the Juvenile Justice System after being arrested for the reported stolen vehicle from a business on Egg Harbor Road on February 21st. 

The 17-year-old was arrested for two reports from a 14th Avenue business on April 10th.  It includes a third vehicle damaged that he attempted to steal.  He faces two counts each for Operating a Motor Vehicle without the Owner's Consent and Removing Major Vehicle Components without the Owner's Consent.   

No arrests have been made yet on the stolen vehicles reported on February 7th at a residence on Georgia Street, West Pine Street, and South 18th Avenue.  Also, a report from March 14 from a South Geneva Street home has not led to an arrest yet either. 

Brinkman adds that the three individuals are the only ones he believes are responsible for the reported rash of stolen vehicles at this time.  He notes that the investigation continues and that it is just a matter of time before the 18-year-old is found arrested.
