2 suspects held without bail, 3rd on bail of $21,500
Three men are facing burglary charges after one of them told police they broke into a northeast-side pet store and swiped three pricey puppies last month including an English bulldog.
Shane Bradtmiller, 31, of the 1400 block of Kitch Street, told police he, Kory Lee Church and Timothy Harris broke into Petland at 10538 Maysville Road on Dec. 30, a probable cause affidavit filed Wednesday said.
Expensive pet supplies as well as an Italian greyhound, a chiweenie and an English bulldog were taken.
Officers arrested Church, 20, of the 15700 block of Canyon Ridge Road, and Harris, 23, of the 1900 block of Vermont Avenue, this month after an informant told police the two were trying to sell stolen pet supplies.
Police went to Harris’ home and found two of the puppies. The third was later recovered at a Decatur home.
Church and Harris initially faced charges of receiving stolen property. They were each charged this week – Harris with one count of burglary and Church with two counts of burglary.
Church was being held in lieu of $21,500 bail. Harris is also charged with driving with a suspended license. He was being held without bail.
Bradtmiller was arrested Jan. 12. He is charged with two counts of burglary and one count of receiving stolen property. He was being held without bail.
