Akron Man, Two Juveniles Arrested for Burglary

Posted
An Akron man and two juveniles were arrested Saturday for burglary to a local business.

On Saturday at 5:05 a.m., Warsaw police responded to The Underground, 3865 Lake City Highway, Warsaw, after receiving a report that the glass front door was broken out.

Daniel W. Kitch, 19, of 6746 E. CR 250S, Akron, was booked into the Kosciusko County Jail on charges of burglary with forcible entry, a Class C felony. His bond was set at $5,000.

Upon arriving, officers were met by the business owner and did not locate anyone inside. The business owner and officers reviewed the surveillance video and recognized the perpetrators as those involved in a traffic stop earlier in the night by Warsaw police.

In that stop, Warsaw police identified three occupants of a black 1997 Pontiac Grand Prix. An attempt to locate the Pontiac was made in Kosciusko and Fulton counties since the occupants were from the Akron and Rochester areas.

A Fulton County deputy stopped the vehicle and detained two juvenile suspects.

Indiana State Police located the third suspect, Kitch, at his residence in Akron and took him into custody.

The two  juveniles, both 17, were released to parents and charges of burglary will be forwarded to the Kosciusko County Probation Department.

At this time, it does not appear that anything was taken from the business. Damage to the door is estimated at $300.
