The Hendricks County Sheriff's Office arrested Alan Hawkins, 34, this week after they recovered some of the stolen items from his home while delivering a search warrant. Deputies believe Hawkins can be connected with at least 22 of those break-ins.
Hawkins is currently facing multiple counts of theft, criminal mischief and unlawful entry of a vehicle. Additional charges are likely to be filed in the case.
Deputies are asking any victims in these cases that have surveillance video or additional information they have not yet turned over to detectives to contact Det. Sgt. Charlie Tyree at 317-745-9354.
