Ottawa Police Arrest Two for May Wal-Mart Theft

Two men from Joliet and Coal City can add the Illinois Valley to the list of places they’re allegedly in trouble.

Ottawa Police had been looking into a report of a television and Bluetooth earpiece that were stolen from the Ottawa Wal-Mart last month. They received arrest warrants Wednesday for 34-year old Justin Ziegler and 29-year old Morris Gray.

Gray was arrested at his Coal City home by the Grundy County Sheriff’s Department. Ziegler was already in custody today, serving time in the Kane County Jail for the pair’s involvement in a retail theft in Batavia.

Ziegler is charged with one count of Burglary and one count of Retail Theft. Gray was taken to the county jail in Ottawa on one count of Retail Theft. The bond for each, for these crimes, was set at $15,000.
