ROBERTSDALE, Alabama — Robertsdale Police have arrested two suspects while a third is still on the run following a rash of burglaries in the area on Tuesday, Sept. 17.
According to a release issued Wednesday, Sept. 18 by RPD Chief Investigator Lt. Rex Bishop, reports included
•Burglary and vehicle theft at Danny’s Hydraulics.
•Burglary at the concession stand at the Robertsdale High School ballfields.
•Burglary and theft of two vehicles at Practical Pools.
•Burglary at Dearborn Construction.
Several reports of vehicle breaking and entering were also reported from Sandlewood Apartments, Village Apartments and residents on Florida Street.
“Through the investigation we were able to obtain video and other evidence relating to these reports,” Bishop said.
Two suspects, Jakob Tanner Smith and Daniel Jacob Findley, both 19 and both from Seminole, have been charged with three counts of burglary; two counts of vehicle theft and four counts of unlawful breaking and entering of a vehicle.
A third suspect, who has been identified as William Young, was pulled over for a traffic violation on Wilters Street near the Baldwin Beach Express.
The officer was able to identify the vehicle as one that was stolen from Practical Pools, but Young fled the area on foot and remains at large.
“Information obtained through the investigation shows that he was armed at the time of the stop and should still be considered armed and dangerous,” Bishop said.
Smith and Findley were both taken into custody during the stop.
This case is still under investigation. If anyone has information on Young’s whereabouts, they are asked to contact the Robertsdale Police Department.
