An Akron man has been charged burglary and theft for taking items from a Silver Lake Business.
The Kosciusko County Sheriff’s Office was called to Kerlin Motorsports. Generators were discovered missing from a back storage barn and an employee found what appeared to be the same generators on sale on Facebook Marketplace.
Two detectives continued the investigation by arranging to purchase the generators from the Facebook ad at a residence in Peru. They were able to confirm the serial numbers matched the stolen generators.
Shawn Douglas Elder, 30, was charged with two counts each of burglary and theft. He was also charged with two counts of criminal mischief.
Elder also admitted to stealing tools from a truck at the Kerlin Motorsports property and gas from vehicles on the site.
