Fulton car Break-ins: Two Guns Missing

Two handguns remain missing after a string of eight vehicle break-ins in Fulton on Tuesday.

Police have detained a juvenile and recovered one wallet; all vehicles were unlocked and undamaged, with most stolen items being wallets and small cash amounts.

Authorities believe juveniles may be involved.

Fulton Police Chief Bill Ladwig emphasizes parental involvement and practical steps: lock vehicles, remove keys, firearms, and laptops, and monitor kids’ whereabouts late at night.

He warns these crimes can escalate if firearms are involved and urges residents to stay vigilant.

No cars were stolen Tuesday, though thefts and recoveries have occurred recently, often in cycles.

Police remind everyone to secure the vehicle and avoid leaving valuables in plain sight.
