Allen County, Indiana — Four people were arrested following a burglary at the Amazon Distribution Center.
On May 3, around 9:40 a.m., the Allen County Sheriff’s Department responded to the Amazon Distribution Center for a burglary and theft.
According to court documents, Amazon employees discovered that someone had used a bolt cutter to cut the chain link fence and security locks on several semi trailers, stealing items inside.
Officers on the scene discovered a hole in the fence and several empty boxes on the ground.
Indiana State Police later contacted officers about a traffic stop involving potential burglary suspects.
