It took several agencies across northeast Wisconsin, including two in Kewaunee County, to bring a string of fraudulent credit card use and tire thefts to a screeching halt.

The Kewaunee County Sheriff’s Department announced the arrest of 27-year-old Cesar Mendoza Mora of Green Bay on Friday. The search for Morea started with a series of thefts in Kewaunee County that involved the fraudulent use of credit cards before their investigation branched out to other jurisdictions. On Thursday, the department worked with the Seymour Police Department to execute an arrest warrant for Mora after being connected to several tire thefts in northeast Wisconsin. A search warrant was also executed in Green Bay by the city’s police department, where officers discovered a vehicle and trailer that were allegedly used in the scheme, in addition to illegal drugs. Mora is being charged with Receiving Stolen Property and will be in court on Monday for his bail hearing.

In addition to the Green Bay and Seymour police departments, the Brown County Drug Task Force provided assistance, and the Algoma Police Department provided interpreter services. The incident remains under investigation by the Kewaunee County Sheriff’s Department, and Mora is presumed innocent until proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt in a court of law.
