Sioux Falls Police says thieves in the past few months have dug holes in the drywall separating apartment garages and have burglarized over ten of them. Officer Sam Clemens says the most recent incident in which police believe a suspect moved from one garage to another through holes in the wall happened Monday.

"We had a guy that was in his garage and then went to his apartment. A few minutes later he came back to his garage and found a hole inside the garage. The man called police," explained Clemens. "They found there had been several different garages that were entered. Our suspect went through a vacant garage and actually made some holes through the walls. He traveled through several different garages and grabbed stuff as he went. The officers found him in a garage stall. The 22-year-old Colton man was arrested for six different counts of burglary.

Clemens says police aren't sure the suspect is connected to other cases where garages were burglarized after thieves entered through the walls.
