Posted

On Aug. 2, at approximately 2:10 a.m., the Fairhope Police Department received a report of a vehicle burglary in progress in the Gaineswood Subdivision, off State Highway 181.

A victim saw the crime occurring and provided the police with a description.

Corporal Daniel Rada, Fairhope PD, located the suspects’ vehicle and detained three subjects in the car.

With the assistance of the Baldwin County Sheriff’s Office, a fourth subject who had fled the area on foot was also located.

The officers developed probable cause to arrest the four persons in connection with the vehicle burglary. The ensuing investigation revealed that the subjects were involved with multiple thefts that had occurred in Fairhope that night, and over previous nights.

In the car, officers recovered stolen property including: two pistols with ammunition, prescription medication, cash, wallets, purses, personal electronics, cell phones, sunglasses, credit cards, alcohol, clothing and other assorted items. All of the property had been stolen from unlocked vehicles. Officers also recovered a small amount of marijuana.

The Fairhope Police Department arrested:

• Robert Hunter Brown, W/M, age 18, a resident of Foley

• Cameron Michael Price, W/M, age 18, a resident of Fairhope

• Daren Lashawn Robinson, B/M, age 19, a resident of Foley

• A W/M juvenile, age 17, who is a resident of Fairhope

All face 11 counts of Breaking and Entering of a Motor Vehicle, two counts of Receiving Stolen Property- 2nd Degree, two counts of Receiving Stolen Property- 4th Degree, and one count of Possession of Marijuana. Brown, Price and Robinson were booked into the Fairhope Municipal Jail pending transfer to the Baldwin County Corrections Center. The juvenile was taken to the Baldwin County Juvenile Detention Center.

If anyone has had property stolen from a vehicle in Fairhope, and they have not yet reported it, they are asked to call the Fairhope Police Department at (251) 928-2385, and ask for the Criminal Investigations Division.

The public is asked to please be sure their vehicles are locked when unattended, especially overnight. Citizens are also cautioned to never leave valuables, particularly firearms, in a vehicle overnight since this invites crime.
