IRON MOUNTAIN, MI-- Authorities have an Iron Mountain man in custody for the breaking and entering of several businesses in the city Friday.
Iron Mountain Police were notified around 6 a.m. that someone had entered the Downtown Plaza and broken into six businesses inside. Mainly cash was stolen.
After several hours of investigation officers developed a suspect. At about 1:15 p.m. the 36-year-old man was found hiding in a wooded area near US-2 and Michigan Avenue. He was taken into custody without incident. Evidence related to the break-ins was recovered from the suspect and his apartment.
The unnamed suspect was out on bond for an unrelated break-in when he was arrested Friday. New formal charges are expected this week.
