Police Capture Four Suspects in Two Home Burglaries

Kosciusko County police deployed police dogs and a helicopter yesterday afternoon as they searched for two suspects in a residential burglary near Leesburg. The manhunt began after officers who responded to a burglary call located a suspect vehicle with only one of the three suspects. Officers eventually found the other two suspects in a bean field. Police have withheld additional information about the case as they complete their investigation. Earlier yesterday, Deputies responding to a report of a suspicious vehicle at a house near Claypool arrived just as the suspect was attempting to leave. The Sheriff’s Department says the officers arrested the driver after they found items in the vehicle that had allegedly been taking from the house. A 35-year-old North Manchester man faces burglary and other charges in that case.
