(Michigan City, IN) - License plate readers led to the arrests of suspects in a recent Michigan City store burglary.

 

Last week, officers responded to a burglar alarm at Dunes Plaza on U.S. 20. There, they found survailence footage of a man getting out of a pick-up truck at 5:30 AM and kicking in a glass window before then going inside the store. 

 

The material obtained from the camera also showed the man placing merchandise in a duffel bag and leaving in a pickup truck described as a Dodge Ram.

 

Flock cameras indicated the vehicle was heading toward Interstate 94.

 

About 90 minutes later, flock cameras detected the vehicle on Interstate 65 in Lafayette, approaching Indianapolis an hour and a half after that. Officers from the area stopped the vehicle, finding a duffel bag inside the truck containing cologne and over a half-dozen power washers.

 

The suspects, Danny Torres and Rolando Pages Romero, are both from Louisville, Kentucky, and are currently being held in the La Porte County Jail to await court proceedings in the case.
