August 18, West Bend, WI – On August 18, 2017, at about 4:05 a.m., West Bend Police received calls of two burglaries to businesses at A-1 Pools, 1168 N. Main St. and Mad Max Clark, 1512 W. Washington Street.
Officers found someone had forced entry into both businesses. Suspects were developed and later located at a residence in Lomira.
The suspects, a 16-year-old male from West Bend, 18-year-old male from Campbellsport and an 18-year-old female from Lomira were arrested for their involvement in the two burglaries in West Bend as well as a burglary in Fond du Lac County and an attempted burglary in Lomira.
All three were arrested.
The adults were placed in the Washington County Jail and the juvenile male was placed into the juvenile secure detention facility.
Most of the property taken in the burglaries and burglary tools were recovered during the investigation.
Thank you to the West Bend Police Department for their prompt response, professionalism and dedication. It was clear from the moment the officers responded to my call at A-1 Pools they were professionals. Maybe I shouldn’t be, but I was sincerely impressed with how committed they were to preserving and collecting evidence, documenting everything meticulously and how the wasted no time working towards identifying and arresting those responsible. All the while demonstrating genuine concern and ongoing communication. Then arresting those responsible in less than 18 hours – impressive! During this process I interacted with probably 8-10 of West Bend’s finest and each was equally professional and sincerely dedicated. West Bend is blessed to have such fine people in their Police Department.
So from this West Bend small business owner, thank you, not just for your work on this case, but for all you do for our community, and may God bless you and your families.
Also, thanks to your friends at Slesar Glass who had us back to normal within an hour or so that morning!
Sincerely,
Jason & Becky Miller
