BELMONT COUNTY, OHIO (WTRF) – Martins Ferry Police have arrested a man they say has a history of breaking into cars.

Police got a report that Saturday night, into Sunday morning, 6 vehicles were broken into.
Upon looking at security footage, police were able to determine that Jermaine “Mississippi” Sulllivan — from Mississippi, was the suspect. Officers were familiar with Sulllivan, who has had prior charges for breaking into vehicles.

But it was a chance encounter that ultimately led to his arrest.

One of our off duty officers who was familiar with the case that happened yesterday, was at a local grocery story shopping. And seeing the male in the store, he was able to detain him until officers arrived on scene and were able to locate a bunch of stolen credit cards that he had in his possession.”
Chief John McFarland, Martins Ferry P.D.​

Police tell us those stolen credit cards were from the theft that occurred Saturday night-Sunday morning. Sullivan now faces 5 counts of Misdemeanor 1 Theft, and 13 counts of Felony 5 Theft. Stay with 7NEWS for updates.
