AbbyPD Crime Reduction Unit Arrests Prolific Break and Enter Suspect

In October 2023, the AbbyPD Crime Reduction Unit (CRU) began investigating a series of underground break-and-enters, where the suspect was targeting tools, bicycles, and credit/debit cards from within vehicles, which they would later fraudulently use.

These occurrences were of great concern to police due to the substantial impact it was having on victims, their families, and businesses.
