Police hope weekend arrests of 'kingpins' will slow burglaries and vehicle thefts
Police hope the arrests of two people over the weekend have “made a dent” in a vehicle theft and burglary spree that’s plagued counties across southern Wisconsin.
Cleaster L. Moon, 24, and Joshua E. Pitts, 17, both of Madison, are suspects in crimes in Madison and Dane County, police said, and both were wanted on warrants after they were charged last week in Waukesha County for burglaries and vehicle thefts that happened in Pewaukee in mid-September, according to a criminal complaint filed there.
Authorities warn of ‘increasingly brazen’ criminals ‘swarming’ neighborhoods after more burglaries, thefts overnight
The area’s plague of burglaries and vehicle thefts in which criminals take advantage of unlocked vehicles and residences is continuing and included two home invasions early Friday, the Dane County Sheriff’s Office said.
In a blunt statement, the Sheriff’s Office said it “cannot stress enough the need for homeowners to be extremely diligent about securing their homes and vehicles. This is a large and organized group of criminals that are becoming increasingly brazen. They are swarming entire neighborhoods in search of easy targets. No area/neighborhood is considered off limits.
“In several recent burglaries throughout the county, firearms have been stolen and there is a high likelihood that some of these thieves may be armed. In addition to locking homes and vehicles, we encourage citizens to keep their outdoor lights on throughout the night and do not leave valuables like wallets, purses and car keys where they are easily accessible.”

Madison man with 7 OWI convictions charged with 11 felonies in high-speed fatal crash on East Washington Avenue
A Madison man with seven prior drunken driving convictions was charged Thursday with 11 felonies — two of them homicide charges — for a high-speed, hit-and-run crash in August on East Washington Avenue that killed a Chicago man.
But the lawyer for Jason A. Natcone, 44, said his client wasn’t driving the BMW convertible when the Aug. 8 crash happened in the 1400 block of East Washington Avenue near the Yahara River Bridge, and that another man, who was first tentatively charged by Madison police, instead may have been driving.
Natcone was charged in the complaint with first-degree reckless homicide, homicide by drunken driving, hit-and-run resulting in death, three counts of first-degree reckless endangerment, eighth-offense drunken driving, three counts of drunken driving causing injury and knowingly driving while revoked causing death.
