(La Porte County, IN) - A convicted thief wanted by La Porte County Police is back in custody. Authorities say 50-year-old Jeffrey Glancy, Sr. was taken into custody just hours after help from the public was sought in locating the fugitive, found in a home in New Carlisle hiding underneath a basement stairwell.

Police say Glancy was wanted in both La Porte County and Berrien County, Michigan for stealing.  According to public records, Glancy has been to prison before for prior crimes like burglary and theft.

Apparently, he didn’t waste much time turning to crime again.  The Michigan City area man was released by the Indiana Department of Correction several months ago.
