Between February 21 and March 10, the Waukesha County Sheriff's Office received several reports of car break-ins in the Village of Sussex. On March 10, information provided by a victim, along with an investigation led deputies and detectives to identify and locate a suspect.

A 35-year-old man from Hartford, who had been staying in Sussex, was taken into custody.

A search warrant was executed at a residence associated with the suspect. The warrant resulted in the recovery of evidence connected to five reported incidents, along with two additional unreported entry-to-auto cases. These investigations remain ongoing.

The Waukesha County Sheriff's Office encourage anyone with information or anyone who needs to report vehicle break-in to contact the Waukesha County Communications center at (262) 446-5070.
