A third man has been arrested for his alleged involvement in a series of burglaries in several counties.
Dennis Albert Staner, 21, of 308 S. Third St., Pierceton, was arrested and booked into the Kosciusko County Jail at 3:10 p.m. Wednesday on a charge of burglary to a business. His bond was set at $10,000.
On Sept. 12, two other men, Christopher Lowe, 22, Pierceton, and Franklin Troy McGuire, 23, Claypool, were arrested for their alleged involvement in burglaries in as many as three counties.
The Kosciusko County Sheriff's Department said they believe the two suspects were involved with burglaries at Wong's Restaurant, Warsaw; the Freedom Express, Leesburg; and the Jot 'em Down Store and Brenspeed, in the Barbee Lake Area.
The men also are believed to have been involved in Whitley County burglaries at the Larwill Deli, Crossroads Restaurant at the intersection of Ind. 9 and Ind. 14, and another location in South Whitley.
The men also may be involved in burglaries in the North Manchester area of Wabash County, which currently are under investigation.
Lowe and Franklin were arrested after a traffic stop by the Warsaw Police Department. The men were stopped on Ind. 15 near the intersection with Ranch Road. During the traffic stop, the vehicle was determined to have been falsely registered and contained evidence of previously reported burglaries.
