OTTAWA COUNTY, Mich. — Deputies are searching for the suspect or suspects behind a string of break-ins in Ottawa County over the past two weeks.
The Ottawa County Sheriff’s Office (OCSO) says someone broke into locked vehicles by breaking windows in Holland Township on May 6. We are told this happened during youth sporting events. Cash, credit cards, checks, IDs and purses valued in the thousands were taken.
A day later, cars in a Tallmadge Township park were hit in a manner that echoed the aforementioned incident, according to deputies.
After that, OCSO says the stolen checks were passed to several banks on May 8-9 using the stolen IDs. We’re told those checks, valued at more than $13,000, were stolen from Indiana sporting events.
The suspect reportedly took off when the bank employees were approached.
Anyone with knowledge of the incidents is asked to contact deputies by calling Silent Observer at 1-877-88-SILENT.
