| At approximately 1:00AM on Saturday, December 8th,
2007, officers from the Kiel Police Department responded to a citizen's
call reporting that two 17 year old males had been observed entering
vehicles parked in driveways in the 1100 block of 2nd Street in the City
of Kiel. Using excellent descriptions provided by the citizen
caller of the suspects and their vehicle, officers from the Kiel Police
Department located the vehicle and arrested the two teenagers. As
a result of the officers' follow-up investigation, we believe the two
suspects are responsible for not only attempted thefts from vehicles in
the City of Kiel, but also competed thefts from vehicles located in both
Calumet and Manitowoc Counties. The two 17 year olds, one from
Kiel and the other from Cleveland were released, but both face multiple
charges which have not been determined at this time. I credit the
rapid apprehension of both suspects to the quick response and follow up
investigative work conducted by Officer Pasket and Officer Blanke of the
Kiel Police Department, but I also give credit and thanks to our local
citizen who immediately reported the incident to our police department
and also provided our dispatch with an excellent description of the
suspects and their vehicle. |
