During the early morning hours of Monday, April 24, Fishers police officers responded to the 11100 block of Timberview Drive to investigate a residential alarm. As officers approached they observed two men near the rear of this residence. Officers identified themselves and both suspects ran. After a short foot pursuit both men were captured and detained. During an extensive search of the area, officers located a juvenile asleep in a vehicle that was later determined to belong to one of the suspects. Three suspects were transported to the Fishers Police Department.

As the investigation continued, officers learned the suspects burglarized another home in the same neighborhood and stole property from several cars in a nearby neighborhood. Officers were able to recover several stolen items and return them to their rightful owners. The two adult suspects were transported to the Hamilton County Jail and the juvenile suspect was transported to the Marion County Juvenile Detention Center for an outstanding pick-up order from Marion County.
The two suspects, Derrick L. Johnson Jr, 18, and Marlin E. Rush, 21, both of Indianapolis, face numerous charges, including burglary, theft and resisting law enforcement.
Police believe there may be other victims. If you have any additional information, contact Detective Sergeant David Flynn at 317-595-3300.
