Kelly Crowder, 29.

Police have arrested a second man whom they believe is connected to a string of residential burglaries earlier this month.

The Juneau Police Department arrested 29-year-old Kelly Crowder at about 8:30 p.m. Sunday, according to press release from the department. After receiving a tip, police found Crowder in an apartment in the 400 block of Gastineau Avenue, where they arrested him without incident.

Crowder was wanted for failing to comply with probation on original charges of second-degree theft, fourth-degree misconduct involving controlled substance and petition to revoke probation, the JPD release states.

In an Aug. 23 post on its Facebook page, the Juneau Police Department labeled Crowder as “Juneau’s most wanted” for his outstanding felony warrant and for his possible connection to several residential burglaries in and around Auke Bay.

On Aug. 10, police arrested Thomas Schauwecker, 45, after a home webcam recording tied him to a burglary in the 12000 block of Glacier Highway. Police believe the same webcam footage that led to Schauwecker’s arrest depicted Crowder in the home.

Crowder is currently being held in Lemon Creek Correctional Center.
