An Elkhart man was being held on $20,000 bond after two meth labs were found in his vehicle while he was detained on a shoplifting charge, police said.
Warsaw police were called to the Warsaw Kmart store on Friday evening about a shoplifting suspect, according to a statement issued Monday by the Kosciusko County Sheriff's Department. Cpl. Al Danko took the man to the parking lot to secure his vehicle and smelled the odor associated with methamphetamine production, the statement said.
It said the county Drug Task Force was contacted and found two one-pot meth labs inside the vehicle.
Justin R. Hill, 32, was preliminarily charged with theft, possession of paraphernalia and manufacturing methamphetamine within 1,000 feet of a government housing complex, the statement said.
