Four Lewisville men were arrested this week in connection with a string of vehicle break-ins in southern Denton County.
The Flower Mound Police Department said that Adam Evans, 24; Nathan Milbery, 25; India Small, 28; and Larry Grabman, 27, were all charged and arrested Tuesday in connection with an ongoing investigation.
Flower Mound police Capt. Richard Brooks said all of the vehicle burglaries had occurred since Oct. 1 and every one of the vehicles burglarized in the city were left unlocked.
Evans was charged with manufacture/delivery of a controlled substance and theft; Milbery was charged with two counts of credit card abuse; Small was charged with possession of a controlled substance, penalty group one less than 1 gram; and Grabman was charged with failure to identify fugitive from justice and had five outstanding warrants in Denton County.
Police said additional charges are pending against Evans and more arrests could be made as the investigation continues.
According to a news release from the department Thursday, numerous items were recovered, but thousands of dollars worth of items still remain lost.
Police urge residents to remove all valuables from their vehicles and keep their doors locked at all times.
Lewisville police also assisted in the investigation, and Lewisville police Capt. Dan Rochelle said the department has cleared three Lewisville vehicle burglaries with this week’s arrests.
He said it’s still early in the investigation and more could be cleared at a later time.
Rochelle did not know if the vehicles were left unlocked in the Lewisville break-ins.

During transport to the city jail, the suspect slammed his head into the cage in the back of the police cruiser, police said, causing a secondary officer to ride in the back with him so he would not continue to harm himself.
