A man has been indicted in connection to multiple break-ins and attempted break-ins last year in Warren and Montgomery counties.

Devon Lavelle Yancy, 40, is facing 13 counts of burglary, four counts of attempted burglary, two counts of violation of a protection order and one count of breaking and entering, according to a Warren County grand jury report.

From July 23 to Oct. 4, Yancy reportedly broke into or tried to break into multiple homes in Springboro, Vandalia, Centerville, Dayton, Miamisburg and Miami Twp. in an attempt to steal items.

The incidents took place at night while people were present, according to the grand jury report.

Yancy also allegedly violated the terms of a protection order by calling two protected people.

A warrant was issued Friday for Yancy, according to Warren County Common Pleas Court records.

His arraignment has not been scheduled as of Monday.
