The Starke County Sheriff’s Department’s investigation into numerous thefts from vehicles in the Bass Lake area has resulted in the arrest of four teenagers.

According to Sheriff Bill Dulin, 18-year-old Anthony Lucas and 18-year-old Michael Ford reportedly stole items from unlocked vehicles during the overnight hours that span several days. Sheriff Dulin said the term “car hop” is being used as this profiles that type of behavior.

Lucas and Ford are both from the Bass Lake area.

They were taken into custody on Tuesday, Oct. 24 and booked into the Starke County Jail on preliminary misdemeanor charges of theft and unauthorized entry into a motor vehicle.  They both remain in the Starke County Jail with a $5,000 bond.

Dulin said two other juveniles face prosecution in this investigation.
