KALAMAZOO (WKZO-AM) — A third suspect who police say was involved in a rash of auto larcenies in Lawton, Mattawan and Portage over the holidays is reportedly in custody on an unrelated charge.
Two of the suspects, Bradley Brown and Jesus Array, were arrested on Chapel Street in Portage on Christmas. They have since been formally charged.
The third suspect fled into the Gourdneck State Game Area and evaded immediate capture. He is currently being housed at the Kalamazoo County Jail.
Michigan State Police are reportedly seeking warrants from Van Buren County charging the suspect with similar thefts in Mattawan a few nights before.
MSP said the investigation is ongoing.
