Michigan City Police Department PRESS RELEASE:
OPERATION JACK FROST
On the morning of 12/6/12 the Michigan City Police Department conducted a warrant sweep. The sweep netted thirty-nine (39) individuals. The Street Crimes Unit, Detective Bureau, Patrol Division, United States Marshal’s Service, Indiana State Police, LaPorte County Sheriff’s Department and Metro Unit, Trail Creek Police Department and the LaPorte County Prosecutor’s Office all participated in the sweep to make it successful.
One of the focuses of this warrant sweep was the crimes of Theft and Receiving Stolen Property. The Uniformed Crime Report showed a slight rise in this area upon review. The men and women of the Michigan City Police Department have worked extremely hard to identify those responsible for stealing someone’s property and/or possessing the stolen property. In today’s sweep, eleven individuals were arrested on Theft or Receiving Stolen Property charges. More arrests are expected in the near future and this should serve as a warning that stealing will not be tolerated.
The Michigan City Police Department is committed to making Michigan City a safer place to live and will aggressively pursue those who choose to commit crimes in the community. Below is a list of the people that were arrested in today’s sweep along with their charges.
***As with all arrests, the accused is presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.***
