ISABELLA CO. -- Three men are behind bars, accused of running a theft ring across six counties in the Mid-Michigan area.

Investigators say the men committed 104 breaking & enterings and larcenies beginning in November, 2009.   The counties hit by the theft ring include Isabella, Clare, Osceola, Mecosta, Gladwin and Roscommon.

More than $209,000.00 worth of stolen property has been recovered.

Lucas Williams, 31, from Remus is charged with one count of B&E in Mecosta County and one count of Receiving & Concealing Stolen Items in Isabella County.

Michael Dunklee, 31, from Mt. Pleasant is charged with one count of B&E in Isabella County.

Robert Guynn Jr., 32, from Weidman is charged with one count of B&E in Mecosta County.

Additional charges may be pending against all three suspects and investigators believe additional arrests may also be made.

In November of 2009, Isabella County began to get reports of seasonal homes that had been broken into in the northwest part of our county.  Over the course of the next several months, additional seasonal homes and out-buildings had been broken into and items of value were taken.

A check of surrounding counties determined that Clare, Osceola and Mecosta Counties were also having seasonal homes broken into.

A task force consisting of detectives from each of the 4 counties, as well as detectives from the Michigan State Police Posts in Reed City and Mt. Pleasant was convened in July of 2010.

The detectives compared notes and shared information from each of their cases. It was also learned the same types of crimes occurred in Gladwin and Roscommon Counties. Through a well coordinated and cooperative law enforcement effort, 3 individuals have been arrested and it is certain more arrests and charges will be forthcoming.

Detectives were able to identify the suspects through investigative leads that were developed over the course of months.

104 breaking & enterings and larcenies have been solved. Over $209,000.00 in stolen property has  been recovered, some of it from as far away as Ohio.

Items that have been recovered include two Kubota tractors, a 6-wheel drive Ranger, 10 all-terrain vehicles, 7 firearms, 2 tandem axle trailers, a zero-turn radius lawn mower, 2 riding lawn mowers, televisions, log splitters, tools and many other items.
