These incidents occurred at BG City Park on 3/7/16. The three males arrested were Mickey Smith, 56, Jeremy Murray, 21, and Johnny Plata, 22. All three subjects reside in Bowling Green. Smith, Murray, and Plata were charged with two counts of breaking and entering and two counts of receiving stolen property and taken to the Wood County Justice Center.

During the investigation, detectives recovered a majority of the items stolen from both maintenance buildings. Detectives also located a majority of the stolen items, to include all BGPD uniforms, in relation to the Long’s Cleaners breaking and entering that occurred on 4/2/16.
