FPD nabs Taylor man who broke into 14 vehicles in mid-city

  The Frankenmuth Police apprehended a subject who was entering vehicles in a hotel parking and surrounding area.

  The case began at 3:11pm Saturday, March 29, when witnesses at the Fairfield Inn, 430 South Main Street contacted the FPD regarding a male subject attempting to break into automobiles in the parking lot. When he was approached by witnesses, he took off on foot in a northwest direction.

  The first FPD officer arrived at the scene, took physical statements from the witnesses, reviewed video footage from the hotel and other local camera, and broadcast the description to the other FPD units in the area.

  As the other officers received the subject’s description, they saw the man running in the area of Beyerlein Street, not far from West Tuscola Street. Officers on foot apprehended him in that area.

  Further investigation determined he was a 30-year-old Taylor, Michigan man who has multiple outstanding warrants from the Detroit metropolitan area and was a parole absconder.

  “We believe he broke into 14 vehicles between the Fairfield Inn parking lot and the surrounding neighborhoods,” FPD Chief Don Mawer said.

  Mawer also mentioned many of the vehicles were unlocked, making the larcenies from motor vehicles much easier to perform.

  The suspect was arrested and lodged in the Saginaw County Jail, awaiting arraignment and charges. Once he is done here, he will return to the Detroit area to face the outstanding warrants.

  In other FPD news, at 12:21am Saturday, March 29, officers were on routine patrol, traveling northbound on South Main Street near Eischer Road, when they clocked a vehicle in front of them traveling 65 MPH in a 55MPH zone. . . .
