“The DeMotte Police Department in Indiana took a report of a stolen snow blower from a residence in our town. The snow blower had been taken from the homeowner’s front yard. Another local resident, a neighbor to the victim, had been identified by our department as a suspect in several thefts that occurred in and around the same neighborhood. Upon running the suspect and his mother’s name, it was discovered that the suspect sold the same type of snow blower within a few days of the victim having noticed it missing. A hold was placed on the snow blower, and the victim identified the item by two new bolts he had just recently installed.”
