In the early morning hours Tuesday, April 14th, Police units from the Grants Pass Department of Public Safety responded to an alarm at Red Eye Hut. It was discovered a burglary had occurred with windows broken and items taken.
The suspects had fled the scene, prior to arrival. Later that morning, another downtown business burglary or attempted burglary was located at Siskiyou Sun Grown. In between the two burglary calls there was an Unlawful Entry to a Motor Vehicle incident reported.
Grants Pass Department of Public Safety Officers were able to determine all three of these cases involved the same suspects from investigative leads. Grants Pass Department of Public Safety Officers and Detectives began to work the cases diligently.
On Sunday, April 19th, Grants Pass Department of Public Safety Officers were able to confirm the identities of four juvenile male suspects involved in the incidents. They are from 14 to 16 years-old and local residents. Grants Pass Department of Public Safety Detectives responded and assisted Officers with locating the suspects. Interviews were conducted after they were placed in custody. Two of the juveniles were lodged at the Juvenile Justice Center and the other two will have charges referred.
There are more cases of Unlawful Entry to Motor Vehicles still being investigated and there could be more charges in the near future. If anyone has any information related to any of these incidents or other anything similar, the GPDPS would ask you to please call (541) 450-6260. We would like to thank our citizens for their continued support.
