In the afternoon of March 28, 2024, a Lake Hallie Police Officer responded to a report of a theft at a business in the 1800 block of 118th St. in the Village of Lake Hallie that occurred in the early morning hours of March 28, 2024. The business reported that approximately over 30 semi-truck tire rims were stolen, along with several other items, resulting in an estimated loss of $4,500 to the business. Lake Hallie Police obtained a photo of the suspect vehicle.
On April 2, 2024, a Lake Hallie Police Detective contacted several scrap yards in the area and provided information on the stolen items and a vehicle description. A day later, the Detective was contacted by a local scrap yard who advised all the stolen items from the business in Lake Hallie, were at the scrapyard. The Detective identified the suspect as Andrew Charlesworth-White (age 21 of Sand Creek) and recovered most of the stolen items from the scrapyard.
On April 4, 2024, with the assistance of the Dunn County Sheriff’s Office, Charlesworth-White was interviewed about the items and theft from the business and was eventually arrested for Felony Theft and transported to the Chippewa County Jail without incident.
