NORTH WEBSTER – Two adults and one juvenile were taken into custody early Thursday morning after allegedly breaking into more than 15 cars near North Webster. Kosciusko County Sheriff’s Department deputies have arrested two adults and placed one under-aged male in juvenile custody after an off-duty North Webster officer noticed them breaking into a vehicle Thursday morning at approximately 3:37 a.m. The North Webster officer immediately chased the fleeing subjects and was able to apprehend one. Arriving sheriff’s deputies began to setup a perimeter in the area of EMS W 22 lane as detectives arrived. Deputies subsequently located the remaining two suspects at the location of 5437 N. CR 900E and transported them to the KCSD. Detectives arrested Michael Alan Rockey, 18, Cromwell, and Ryan D. Silliman, 19, North Webster, and preliminarily charged both with felony theft. They are currently being held on individual $2,000 bonds. The 14-year-old juvenile taken into custody due to his involvement was transported to the Pierceton Woods Juvenile Center for detainment. His information has been forwarded to the Kosciusko County Probation Department. Sheriff’s detectives stated that it appears that approximately 15 to 20 vehicles had been entered into overnight in the same general area, which is on the south side of Webster Lake. Officers also have confirmed that at least 10 of the vehicles had items taken from inside the vehicles, which vary from cellular phones, GPS electronic devices and power tools.
