**Two Men Charged in Multi-County Theft Ring Targeting Work Trucks**
MACOMB COUNTY, MI – Two 27-year-old men from Detroit and Harper Woods have been charged in connection with a multi-county theft ring targeting work trucks. Macomb County Prosecutor Peter Lucido announced on February 3 that Andrew Walker and Deanote Lindsey were both arraigned on charges stemming from a series of thefts.
The duo allegedly targeted work vehicles parked in driveways and commercial lots throughout Macomb, Oakland, and Wayne counties. They are accused of breaking into at least 17 work vehicles.
During one of the alleged thefts, a victim attempted to stop the suspects from fleeing with stolen property. According to a release from the prosecutor’s office, one of the men pulled out a handgun and pointed it at the victim.
Both men face multiple charges, including armed robbery, conducting a criminal enterprise, and assault with a dangerous weapon.
Walker was arraigned on January 29, while Lindsey was arraigned on February 2 in the 41B District Court in Clinton Township. Both are scheduled for a probable cause conference on February 9.
Prosecutor Lucido praised the coordinated efforts of law enforcement agencies involved in the investigation. “I want to commend the members of the Macomb Auto Theft Task Squad, the Clinton Township, St. Clair Shores, Roseville, and Warren Police Departments, the Macomb FBI Violent Crimes Taskforce, and the Troy Special Investigations Unit,” Lucido said in a news release.
“Your coordinated efforts appear to have removed two alleged violent and brazen criminals from the streets and disrupted an alleged criminal enterprise. Thank you for the work you do every day to help keep the residents of Macomb, Oakland, and Wayne Counties safe.”
