KOKOMO, Ind. — Police in Kokomo have released footage of a suspect they believe is responsible for a string of car thefts throughout the town.

On Friday, March 31, a victim reported to the Kokomo police that his vehicle was broken into in the 700 block of Westminster Lane, near West Jefferson Street.

The suspect reportedly stole "miscellaneous" items, according to police. That same suspect was also seen on home surveillance footage trying to get into other cars in the 100 block of North Wildwood Drive, near West Sycamore Street.
