Fond  du Lac Police have arrested a suspect in connection with the theft of guns and ammunition from Fleet Farm.  Police Chief Aaron Goldstein says a 29 year old Fond du Lac man was arrested without incident Wednesday afternoon following a  traffic stop in the area of North Hickory and West Johnson Streets.  Police executed a search warrant at a residence in the 400 block of Ann Street and recovered  all five stolen firearms and ammunition from the burglary at Fleet Farm on  October 28th.    The suspect was arrested on charges of Burglary, Felon in Possession of  Firearm(s), Criminal Damage to Property, and a nationwide warrant out of Oklahoma.  He is  being held at the Fond du Lac County Jail.  Chief Aaron Goldstein said, “FDLPD will stop at nothing to bring accountability to those who we believe put our community at risk. For those who commit crimes, FDLPD will not rest until you are found and in custody. From the onset of this burglary our Detectives worked tirelessly to ensure these firearms did not hit the streets. I am so proud of this group of Detectives for their dedication, focus, and teamwork in solving this crime in a matter of days and keeping the stolen firearms from becoming part of any potential future gun violence.”
