Police in Manitowoc arrested a 37-year-old man after he allegedly smashed in a car window and stole a lockbox.
Officers were sent to Broadway Automotive, located at 4000 Grand Avenue in Manitowoc, just after 7:00 AM yesterday (May 12th) after an employee noticed that the rear driver’s side window of one of the vehicles in the lot had been smashed and a lockbox containing the key to the vehicle had been stolen.
It was estimated that it would cost between $2,000 and $3,000 to replace the window.
Police narrowed in on their suspect and made contact with the man at around 11:15 AM.
He was being evasive and lied multiple times to police, who found the lockbox in his possession.
The man was arrested on charges of Criminal Damage to Property, Theft, Receiving Stolen Property, and two counts of Misdemeanor Bail Jumping.
