WEST BARABOO, Wis. — Two Baraboo residents were arrested after investigators linked them to multiple burglaries at a West Baraboo business over the past month, according to the Sauk County Sheriff’s Office. The burglaries involved the theft of computer equipment, authorities said. Detectives obtained a search warrant for a residence on West Maple Street and recovered much of the property reported stolen. The search also helped investigators identify an 18-year-old and a 21-year-old, both Baraboo residents, as suspects, the Sheriff’s Office said. The cases will be referred to the Sauk County District Attorney’s Office for charging decisions. The 18-year-old is being referred on two counts of burglary of a building and theft of movable property valued at more than $2,500. The 21-year-old is expected to face burglary and theft allegations as a party to a crime. Neither person had been formally charged in court at the time of the announcement. The Sheriff’s Office did not release their names. Anyone with information about the burglaries or other criminal activity can contact the Sauk County Sheriff’s Office, Sauk County Crime Stoppers at 1-888-847-7285 or a local law enforcement agency.
