(MENDON) – Authorities say that a suspect has been arrested in connection with break ins at three Mendon homes.

The Mendon Police Department says the 46 year old man was taken into custody.

The St. Joseph County Sheriff’s Office received a call at 9 PM Sunday of a break in at a house in the 200 block of Fletcher Street. The homeowner told deputies they returned after being gone several hours to find signs someone was inside the house while they were away.

On Monday at 2 AM, deputies responded to a call of someone trying to enter a home in the 200 block of East Main Street. The subject was scared off by the homeowner. The area was searched, but no one was located.

Then at 3:30 AM Monday, deputies were called to a residence in the 100 block of East Main Street after the homeowner located a subject inside their home. This time, the suspect was naked, and later told authorities he was looking for clothes. The suspect fled the residence heading south. A K-9 officer was called to the scene but was not able to locate the man.

A photo of the suspect was shared with police, and officers were able to pick him up Thursday. Mendon Police say the man has been cooperating with them and also said he used meth before the incidents.
