Shortly after 3 a.m. today, Justin Andrew Chalmers, 19, of 319 S. Indiana St., Warsaw, and Brock Anthony Obrien, 20, of 701 W.

The men allegedly broke into and stole items from Paradise Pawn Shop on Winona Avenue.
According to a report from the Warsaw Police Department, an officer saw two men on bicycles dressed in dark clothing early this morning. When the officer asked the men what they were doing, they reportedly said they were going to pick up a woman. Later when asked what the tools were for, the men said they had been fixing a car.
The men had screwdriver, a pry bar, a flashlight, knives and bolt cutters in their possession when the officer stopped them.
The officer then saw a blue nylon bag and found a police scanner, several small digital and manual scales, a Sony PlayStation and controller, and a set of screwdrivers inside.
The men were taken into custody where they allegedly admitted to breaking into Paradise Pawn Shop.
The incident remains under investigation by the Warsaw Police Department. [[In-content Ad]]
