Syracuse man arrested for burglary and auto theft.

<p>On 10-22-16 at approximately 7:26am Deputies from the Steuben County Sheriff&rsquo;s Office were called to the area of 8290 W 350 N on a 911 call of a burglary that had just occurred. It was reported to authorities that a 2006 Kawasaki motorcycle had just been taken from a garage and was last known to be eastbound from the scene. Deputies searched area for the motorcycle and a black Pontiac passenger car that was also reportedly involved. A short time later a family member of the property owner where the burglary took place saw the motorcycle traveling on a nearby roadway. The motorcycle was forced to stop by the family member and a male subject on the motorcycle fled into a large cornfield/wooded area. Deputies continued to search the area when a male subject was found in the 4100 N block of CR 800 W walking. The male matched the description given by witnesses of the subject on the motorcycle. The male subject, found to be 20 year old Thomas P. Crago, Jr. of Syracuse, Indiana, was arrested and booked into the Steuben County Jail on charges of burglary and auto theft. The black Pontiac passenger car seen leaving the area was also located in a nearby field, which belong to Crago. Steuben County authorities are still investigating the incident. Angola City Police assisted in the incident.</p>
