UPDATE: On Friday afternoon Whitefish Bay Police recovered the Jetta stolen by Saunders. Friday evening an update from Whitefish Bay Police Chief said that Saunders was taken into custody.

Whitefish Bay Police are looking for a suspect they believe has been entering unlocked homes that were occupied by residents.

It is believed that Shorewood has also had two burglaries committed by the same suspect.
