This summer, the police division saw an increase in vehicle thefts. On Monday, September 30th, patrol officers began to look for potential suspects based on descriptions provided through video surveillance. With keen attention to detail, Officer Adam Wolbert noticed two stolen bicycles tucked behind a residence, leading to further investigation and ultimately identifying two suspects.
A 16-year-old male and his 14-year-old brother, both Ashland City residents, were detained and questioned. The pair were linked to eight vehicle thefts, breaking and entering, theft from a vehicle, and an ATV theft. Officers and detectives worked with the Ashland County Sheriff’s Office on the cases, as two vehicles were stolen from Ashland County’s jurisdiction. The two juveniles are charged with Unauthorized use of a vehicle. The Ashland County Prosecutor’s Office is reviewing the cases for additional charges.
We would like to remind the public to lock their car doors and take their keys inside. In most cases, vehicles that have been trespassed in and stolen are unlocked with the keys left inside.
