Suspects arrested in Miami/Darke County burglaries
8/21/2013 

TROY – Miami County detectives have arrested David C. Shuman, 39, of Sidney, and Morgan D. Mitchell, 29, of Greenville, on single counts of burglary. Both are suspected of being involved in numerous daytime burglaries in Miami and Darke counties. The arrests were made in Darke County with the assistance of Darke County detectives. 

Shuman is incarcerated in the Miami County jail while Mitchell is incarcerated in the Darke County jail facing a warrant for probation violation there. Mitchell will be extradited to Miami County in the near future to face the burglary charge. Detectives are continuing to follow-up and additional burglary charges will likely be forthcoming when the investigation is completed. Shuman was the registered owner of the red/maroon colored Plymouth Breeze which is currently impounded by Miami County Sheriff’s Office. Jewelry boxes along with other likely stolen items were recovered from the vehicle. They will be positing photos of those items on the Miami County Sheriff’s Facebook page in the near future requesting the public’s assistance with identification of property. 

They ask the public to remain vigilant in reporting suspicious vehicle(s) and person(s) in their neighborhoods. We believe there are still others actively committing burglaries in Miami County other than Shuman and Mitchell.
