The Madison Police apprehended the youth alleged to be involved in a rash of East and North Side burglaries. Press release is below:
| Address | North & East side burglaries *** UPDATE *** |
| Arrested person/suspect | Male, 15, Madison |
| Victim/Injuries | |
| Details | As previously released, the north and east side of Madison had a rash of residential burglaries. The suspect would ring doorbells to see if anyone was home and if not, search the house for the easiest path inside (unlocked doors, open windows, etc). Madison Police warned this part of the city of the rash of break-ins and to be observant and notify police of suspicious behavior. This warning paid off. On Sunday 6/10 a suspect was arrested and that male was taken into juvenile custody. After being released, the suspect began to commit more burglaries via the same method. On Monday an alert resident noticed this male suspect in the neighborhood, ringing doorbells. As the suspect walked around the house, the observant neighbor called police. The suspect was caught inside the house, befriending a pitbull. The juvenile is now in an unsecured location under court order not to leave. At this point, the Madison Police Department is investigating how many burglaries this individual may be responsible for. |
