The Kenosha County Sheriff’s Department has arrested four individuals in connection with a string of vehicle break-ins in the Salem Lakes area in June and July.

The investigation has resulted in the clearance of 29 individual cases.

The three men and one woman have not been formally charged in court. westofthei.com does not print the names of suspects until they have been charged.

A search warrant was conducted on July 5 at a residence in the 5000 block of 17th Ave. in Kenosha, which resulted in the recovery of some stolen property as well as evidence linking the suspects to the crimes, said a statement released Thursday by KCSD Sgt. Mark Malecki, public information officer.

There were approximately 35 reports of unlocked vehicles being entered with items removed, said the statement. The locations of these reports were primarily in the Salem Lakes area.

“A lot of hard work went into this investigation,” the statement said. “The Kenosha County Sheriff’s Department would like to remind all residents to lock the doors to their property.”
