A Marion teen was arrested Thursday in connection with numerous burglary and theft complaints over the past few months, the Marion Police Department said, and several others allegedly involved are also facing possible charges.
Marion police on Wednesday investigated a report of two parties running through backyards and down the 400 block of Sherman Street with a third party that picked them up in his vehicle.
A 20-year-old Shawano man was arrested for an active warrant and an 18-year-old Tigerton man was arrested for a probation violation.
During the investigation that night, information was received regarding the rash of burglaries and thefts, police said.
On Thursday, Marion police assisted by Waupaca County sheriff’s deputies and Clintonville police executed a search warrant in the 600 block of N.E. Second Street in Marion.
Evidence linking the 18-year-old and his associates to the burglaries and thefts was found in the residence, according to police. Drug paraphernalia, including methamphetamine and a methamphetamine cooking kit, were also taken as evidence.
An 18-year-old man from Marion has since been arrested on burglary and theft charges.
Charges were being referred to the Waupaca County district attorney’s office against all parties involved for burglary, theft, possession of methamphetamine and possession of drug paraphernalia, the Police Department said.
Charges had not yet been filed as of Friday afternoon.
