Suspects of Crime Spree in Custody

Today on April 5, 2023 at 8:21 am officers from the Janesville Police Department responded to a burglary complaint at 720 N. Oakhill Avenue. During the course of that investigation the officers learned of an additional burglary, an auto theft, and several attempted frauds.
 
At 12:00 today Officers were called to the 1300 block of Sharon Drive for three subjects checking doors to homes in the area. The three subjects were in a stolen car from one of the burglaries being investigated from earlier in the day, in the 1500 block of Maple Avenue.
 
At approximately 12:30 this afternoon we placed two adults and one juvenile in custody while operating the stolen Cadillac from a burglary at 1515 Maple Ave. Officers and detectives are still actively working multiple cases, and identifying victims. These investigations are complex and there is still much more to learn. Officers are still trying to locate a dog that was stolen during one of the burglaries. We will release additional information including suspect information as soon as we have it available.
 
The suspects responsible are in custody, and they are no longer a threat.   If you are in one of the areas mentioned and believe your home was entered please do not hesitate to call the non-emergency dispatch number (608) 757-2244.
