Four People Arrested in Connection with Car Lot Robbery

Four people have been arrested in connection with thefts at a Branson car lot.

The Branson Police Department reported Joe Lewis, Aaron Miller, Ariel Deatley, and Dylan Cron were involved with the burglary at Lakeside Motors in Branson in the overnight hours between Oct. 23 and 24.

Court documents said Ariel Deatley went to Lakeside Motors, approached the building’s power supply boxes, and eventually turned off the main power switch to the property. This shut off the power to the building and the lighting in the parking lot off and also deactivated the building’s alarm system.

Cron and his associates then broke the front glass of the business with a brick taken from a nearby retaining wall. 

While inside, the burglars took the titles to cars on the lot and the keys for the vehicles. Over the course of two days, five vehicles were stolen.

More details on the story can be found from the Branson Tri-Lakes News Website.
