INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) — Two men were arrested Thursday after state police said they were breaking into cars in downtown Indianapolis.
At 12:35 p.m., Indiana State Police Capitol Police Officers responded to the Washington Street Parking Garage, 401 W. Washington Street, after receiving a call about two men looking into vehicles.
