HOLLAND TOWNSHIP, Mich. — Police in Ottawa County say a man accused in a recent apartment break-in may be connected to at least eight others at the same complex.

The original crime was reported on July 26 at an apartment on Quincy Street in Holland Township.  When police arrived at the scene, they say they located Abel Sepulveda, 21, still inside the apartment. Sepulveda was arrested without further incident, and he later bonded out of jail pending further court dates.

Since that time, investigators uncovered new details that implicate Sepulveda in at least eight other apartment break-ins at the same complex. Victims had reported items stolen from them included electronics, jewelry, money, and food.

Additional charges may be sought against the suspect as a result of these latest findings.
