GREEN BAY, WI (WTAQ) – Green Bay police are releasing more information about the suspect arrested last week in connection with a string of home burglaries.
Prosecutors say 50-year-old Joseph J. Thyrion will not appear in court Thursday.
Thyrion is facing 10 counts of burglary, 5 counts of criminal damage to property and being a felon in possession of a firearm or carrying a prohibited weapon.
Police have also connected Thyrion to 3 burglaries elsewhere in Brown County.
“Mr. Thyrion was breaking into these homes looking for cash, looking for jewelry,” says Capt. Kevin Warych, Green Bay Police Department. “Or any items of small value that he could put into his pocket and flee the area so that no one would look at him twice.”
Warych says, however, not all burglaries in the city have been solved. Officials are reminding people to be vigilant in protecting their property by securing their home, locking your vehicle and if you see something suspicious, contact local police.
