THEFTS FROM VEHICLES
We’ve had several reports of vehicles being entered and property stolen. PLEASE remember to remove valuables from your vehicle and lock the doors. Thieves will look for unlocked vehicles and if they find one, (or more) they will enter the unlocked vehicle and steal property. The City of Kiel is a safe and beautiful community, but that doesn’t mean we are immune to crime. Some thieves even target smaller rural communities like Kiel because all too often residents living there think “nothing bad happens here” and do not safeguard their property giving thieves the opportunity to commit theft. Help us, help you. Report suspicious people or circumstances to our dispatch at 920-894-2211 (press 1) Thank you!
If anyone has information about the recent vehicle thefts you can report it to our Police Department or anonymously via Manitowoc County Crime Stoppers at 920-683-4466.
Remove valuables and lock up your car!
Thank you

As a result of the investigation, a 27-year-old male was taken into custody and charged with the following offenses:

Additionally, a penalty enhancer for offenses committed within 1,000 feet of a school was applied to several of the charges.

Charges will also be referred to the Manitowoc County District Attorney’s Office for a 53-year-old female residing at the residence.

🚨 SCAM ALERT: Fraudulent “DMV/DOT” Text Messages 🚨
We’ve been made aware of scam text messages claiming to be from the Wisconsin Department of Transportation or DMV, stating that you have unpaid traffic violations and threatening suspension of your vehicle registration or driver’s license.
These messages may look official and include urgent language or links demanding immediate payment. This is a scam.
The Wisconsin Department of Transportation will not demand payment or threaten enforcement actions through unsolicited text messages.
