Full Notification

The Pulaski County Sheriff’s Office is wishing to remind citizens to lock their vehicles after a recent rise in vehicle break-ins. Citizens should lock their vehicles even when parked in front of their houses, in their driveways, or inside of garages to prevent being a victim of these crimes.

The Pulaski County Sheriff’s Office has recently responded to multiple reports of items being stolen from motor vehicles. The victims are reporting the vehicles being unlocked and parked in front of the residences. These incidents have been reported at residences from the area around U.S. Highway 35 to County Road 1100 West and north of State Road 14.

The suspects in crimes of this nature will often travel on foot while attempting to locate unlocked vehicles. The suspects will enter vehicles found unlocked, often take whatever is visible, and move on to the next vehicle. The suspects are more likely to move on when a vehicle is found to be locked.

The suspects in these reported incidents are believed to be two subjects, possibly males, and may have been observed walking in the areas of the reported incidents, primarily around the Tippecanoe River State Park. These suspects may have visited local businesses and purchased items using a large amount of change.

Anyone with information is asked to contact Detective Sergeant Chris Schramm at (574) 946-6655.

Also, anyone observing suspicious activity such as subjects looking into vehicles, checking door handles, or forcing entry into vehicles are urged to contact the Pulaski County Sheriff’s Office at (574) 946-6655 or 911.
