Indianapolis, IN – Three juveniles were arrested early Tuesday morning in connection with a string of car break-ins that police say span across Indianapolis and Fishers, totaling in the hundreds.
According to a joint statement from Fishers Police Department, Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department (IMPD), and the FBI’s Violent Crimes Task Force, the arrests came after weeks of coordinated investigation. Authorities said the suspects were found in a stolen vehicle and were taken into custody with the assistance of K9 units, SWAT officers, and drone operators.
Recovered items included stolen property, firearms, and vehicles taken from both Fishers and Indianapolis residents. Because firearms and stolen cars crossed jurisdictions, the FBI partnered with local agencies to ensure accountability at both the state and federal levels.
Fishers Police Chief Ed Gebhart said the arrests highlight ongoing efforts to prevent criminals from “wreaking havoc” in local neighborhoods. IMPD Assistant Chief Chris Bailey added that the operation underscores the importance of law enforcement collaboration in protecting communities.
FBI Indianapolis Special Agent in Charge Timothy O’Malley echoed those comments, noting that the partnership allows federal agents to “swiftly address violent crime and hold accountable those who endanger our communities.”
Police emphasized that the investigation remains active and urged residents to remain vigilant. Officials advised community members to secure valuables, avoid leaving firearms in vehicles, and report suspicious activity immediately.
Anyone with information or surveillance video is asked to contact Fishers Police at fisherspd@fishersin.gov or IMPD at IMPD.publicaffairs@indy.gov.
