It was early morning Sunday when a resident along Sun River Drive, near 116th Street and Allisonville Road, saw two men walking their neighborhood who appeared suspicious.  The same resident found missing items in their vehicle.

The Fishers Police Department was notified and officers began searching the area.  About two hours later, an officer observed two men running across Allisonville Road. The officer approached the men and they fled. After a short pursuit police located the men hiding in a tree line.

Both suspects were taken into custody without incident. Fishers Police say their investigation alleges that the men were involved in approximately ten thefts from vehicles in the Fishers area. Officers recovered several stolen items and returned them to the victims.

The men arrested were identified as Jeremiah Gilliam, 28, from Indianapolis, and Joseph Scott II, 27, also from Indianapolis.  Gilliam faces charges of Resisting Law Enforcement, Unauthorized Entry into a Vehicle, Theft and Possession of Cocaine.   Scott is charged with Resisting Law Enforcement, Unauthorized Entry into a Vehicle and Theft.

Fishers Police Chief Mitch Thompson publicly commended the resident reporting the suspicious activity.  Fishers Police urge residents to always lock unattended vehicles and remove any items of value.
