Derek A. Cammack, 20, was taken into custody Tuesday as a
suspect in numerous crimes which occurred during the first two
weeks of this month.
On June 2, police claim Cammack broke into the LDS 4th Ward
building, 294 W. 200 East. Logan Police Lt. Greg Ridler said
Cammack slightly damaged the building, broke open some doors
and stole a computer monitor and humanitarian supplies that
were to be sent to other countries. Those items were valued at
$500.
On June 9, Ridler said, Cammack broke into the Emporium and
a nearby residence. Cammack is accused of taking coins from
the residence, a laptop computer from the Navy recruiter,
stamps from a livestock store and a karate robe from Jim
Poulsen's Karate Studio. The majority of those items were
recovered.
Ridler said investigators believe Cammack also stole items
from as many as 37 cars during this time period.
Investigators believe Cammack got into unlocked cars and
stole minor items, like change and CDs. Most of those items
have been recovered.
The cars that Cammack allegedly stole items from were
located in three areas: two blocks around the area of 200
North and 300 East, two blocks around the area of 100 West and
400 North, and two blocks around the area of 1000 North and
200 West.
Police say the total value of items taken was around
$3,300.
Cammack has been charged with 36 counts of auto burglary, a
class A misdemeanor; 23 counts of theft, both misdemeanor and
felony charges; three counts of criminal mischief, a class B
misdemeanor; four counts of burglary of a building, a
third-degree felony and one count of burglary of a residence,
a second-degree felony.
