NEWS RELEASE

ARREST
Breaking and Entering- Motor Vehicles
Friday 04-14-2017
Bristol Road in Imlay City (Lapeer County’s Imlay Township)

On Friday 04-14-2017 around 5 AM, Lapeer County Sheriff’s Deputies responded to Bristol Road in Imlay City (Lapeer County’s Imlay Township) for an individual that was breaking into automobiles parked within driveways. A home owner observed and confronted a male subject. The individual fled north on foot and entered a dark colored automobile.

It was later determined that at least three different vehicles (separate residences in that immediate area) were entered. Property was stolen from the vehicles.

Deputies located a dark colored automobile within the immediate area that fit the suspect’s vehicle description. This vehicle was occupied by a 27 year old female from Bruce Township. Additionally, Almont Police Department was informed by a citizen that they picked up a male walking in the Bristol Road area and gave them a ride to a residence within Kingsbury Mobile Home Community in Almont.

The information and facts developed resulted in Deputy Jesse Rhodes and Deputy Chris Bowman visiting Kingsbury Mobile Home Park in Almont and arresting Michael Reed age 26 from Almont. Michael Reed was transported and lodged in the Lapeer County Jail. Additionally, stolen property was recovered.
