They are Officers Tyler Meek and Elliot Miller.Police agree that it was the intermunicipal cooperation that resulted in the successful tie-in of all the incidents.The break in the investigation came at about 3:35 p.m. on Aug. 5 when a Mahoning Township property owner said a bike had been locked in a trailer, but was stolen when the thief used bolt cutters to cut the lock.Lawrence noted that a resident supplied his department with information that led to a home in the 300 block of North Second Street. There, the 14-year-old admitted his role and the investigation continued to the 16-year-old who lives in the same block. The bike was recovered at the home of the older teen.The combination of the willingness of citizens becoming involved and good investigative work by police is credited with unraveling the burglary ring.
