Theft suspect photographed at construction site

The Lake County Sheriff’s Department is asking the public’s assistance in identifying a theft suspect and has released security camera images.

Mark Back, director of public relations for the sheriff’s department, said the suspect has been photographed several times stealing electrical wire from new residential construction sites located on the west side of Lake County, IN.

The suspect appears to be a white male with thin build and thinning brown hair. “It is believed that the subject has previous experience with electrical equipment due to the manner in which the materials are removed from the sites.” Back said.

Anyone with information regarding this subject or the thefts that have occurred from local construction sites is asked to contact Detective Michelle Dvorscak of the Lake County Sheriff’s Department Criminal Investigations Division at 219-755-3346. To remain anonymous, call the Sheriff’s Department Report-A-Crime Hotline at 800-750-2746.
