On the morning of October 30, 2023, the Bethalto Police Department responded to multiple reports of vehicle burglaries on B Street in Bethalto, resulting in a total of five incidents in the area.
Following these incidents, on October 31, 2023, at approximately 4:30 a.m., Bethalto Officers received a report of a suspicious vehicle in the 200 block of Gabrielle Circle. Upon investigation, they located the vehicle on Route 140 at Sheridan Street.
