Lake Cyrus Car Burglaries: North Carolina Man Arrested

HOOVER, AL - The Hoover Police Department has arrested a North Carolina man in connection with a series of car burglaries in the city's Lake Cyrus neighborhood. Isaak Christian Stoltzfus, 30, of Andrews, N.C., was arrested Sunday after reports of car break-ins early Sunday morning.

A report by the Hoover PD said Sunday morning at 1:31 a.m., police responded to the 1800 block of Lake Cyrus Club Drive on a report of someone breaking into a vehicle. The resident called 911 after looking outside and seeing a white male rummaging through a vehicle in their driveway. Officers responded to the area and began looking for the suspect on foot.

Hoover PD officers tracked the male to another residence in the 5600 block of Park Side Road, where he was caught inside of a vehicle parked in a driveway. He was taken into custody without incident, according to the report. A backpack full of items that appeared to come from other vehicles was located with the suspect. Investigators determined that all of the vehicles the suspect entered were unlocked.
