Police Investigate Three Fenton Business Break-ins

Police make one arrest, identify another suspect.

Fenton Police arrested a Fenton man on charges of breaking and entering after they say he stole items from two different Fenton businesses around 3 a.m. June 14.

Chief Rick Aro said police first responded to an entry alarm at Matt and Terry’s Market on North Road and observed a large hole in the front window. Police believe the suspects used a large rock to break the glass to gain entry and took tobacco and beverages.

Police reviewed video footage and as they were clearing the scene, received a call for another entry alarm from Wireless Toys on North Leroy Street. While in route, an officer noticed a man on a bike riding away from the location. Police made contact with the suspect and found he had stolen property from both places, Aro said.
