Tips from public helped in
apprehension of auto theft
suspects, chief said
EVART The chief of the
Evart Police Department is
giving credit to the tips that
began coming in to Meceola
Central Dispatch after a car
was stolen in the city for the
apprehension of the suspects
in the case.
The car was taken from the
parking lot of the Wesco sta-
tion June 18 at about 10:50 p.m.
The owner reportedly stopped
at the business while travel-
ing to work and looked out the
store window and saw the car
traveling across the parking
lot of the business.
Police department person-
nel made a Facebook post that
included surveillance pictures
from the buisness, and tips
quickly began coming in to
authorities.
The car was recovered the
following morning in a city
of Evart parking lot. Using
the information offered by
the tipsters, police identified
suspects. One suspect was ar-
rested June 19, and a second
was arrested June 25.

However, a recent resurgence of new

given Upton Street in Reed City, Osceola

some new excitement into an old-fash-

Among the additions include a renamed City Brewing Company officially joins the
