INDIANAPOLIS — More than 20 people are facing charges for serial theft in the Indianapolis area.
According to the Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department, this year, detectives have been concentrating on identifying serial theft suspects, leading to the arrests.
One notable case involved Timothy Dodd, who was wanted on multiple warrants.
On May 23, he led officers on a brief vehicle pursuit before crashing and fleeing on foot with his girlfriend, Brizhane Hicks. Dodd was quickly apprehended, while Hicks initially escaped but was arrested on June 24 on multiple warrants.
“I appreciate everyone who helps us hold these serial offenders accountable,” said North District Commander Matthew Thomas. “That includes those who report incidents and suspicious activities, officers who respond to runs, detectives who investigate the cases, the loss prevention staff who provide quality leads, the prosecutors who screen the cases, and the officers/detectives who worked to track down the offenders. It is truely a collaborative effort.”
