KALAMAZOO (WKZO-AM) — A man, described only as a black male in his 20’s is spending the beginning of his Labor Day Weekend in the Kalamazoo County Jail after he broke into a car on Michigamme Woods in the city and stole a case holding a 9mm Smith and Wesson semi-automatic handgun.
The victim was able to give police a description of the man he thought might be the suspect.
Shortly after, Public Safety got a call that the victim’s wallet had been found in the 12-hundred block of California.
While officers were at that location, they spotted the suspect leaving a nearby apartment, contacted him, recovered the stolen gun from his apartment, along with items taken from another car.
That victim was contacted and did not realize he had also been ripped off.
The suspect, who was already out on bond for another crime, now faces several theft and gun felonies as well.
