FISHERS, Ind. (WISH) — Three teens have been arrested for a rash of car break-ins in Fishers and Indianapolis. Police say the three arrested aren’t the only ones behind the crimes.

Police say there are multiple groups committing the crimes.

The Fishers Police Department, along with the Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department and the FBI’s Violent Crimes Task Force, arrested three juveniles Tuesday: A 16-year old and two 17-year olds, all from Indianapolis. Police hope to make more arrests.

“We’re not done with our work,” said Chris Bailey, chief of police for the Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department. “We’re going to do everything, and detectives will do everything to connect these cases, get property back to the individuals that have lost property, and send a clear message that we will track you down.”

The three juveniles were caught driving a stolen car in a Fishers neighborhood. Investigators believe they’re tied to more than 200 car break-ins across central Indiana, with at least 50 in fishers.

After Tuesday’s arrests, investigators executed 11 search warrants, four in fishers and seven in Indy. They recovered six firearms, multiple gun magazines, a vehicle programmer often used to steal cars, two stolen vehicles, and other evidence detectives are still sorting through.

Fishers resident Zachary Lensink was woken up to the sound of police knocking on his door early Sunday morning.

“I came down, and a police officer asked me if I knew my car was broken in to,” Lensink said. “I said no because we didn’t hear anything at all that night, then he said yeah, and we looked the street and there were cops lined the whole street.”

Lensink’s wallet was stolen, and front right-side window broken. He said repairs on his car will take a little longer than a week as car repair companies are swamped due to the recent break-ins.

“I will definitely not be keeping my wallet in my car anymore, and we just moved here from Texas and we were still moving things around,” Lensink said. “I have a spot almost open for my truck in the garage for my car. We’re almost to the point where I can keep my car in the garage, and that would’ve made a difference too.”

Since stolen guns and vehicles cross jurisdictions, the FBI joined the investigation. Bailey said parents should remind their kids to think before they act.

“The federal consequences are much more severe than at the state level,” Bailey said. “You don’t have a right to bond. You don’t have anybody to put money on your books. You could be held pre-trial in Colorado, when you committed a crime in the southern district of Indiana, and you do 80% of the time when you’re convicted.”

Bailey said crime is expected to go up in the next few months, but law enforcement has a plan to help keep the community safe.
