An outstanding, coordinated effort by Violent Crimes detectives, Central Precinct detectives and East Precinct detectives led to Sunday night’s arrest of Ishimwe Tuyisenge, 19, for 27 outstanding warrants related to 13 motor vehicle burglaries and thefts over the last nine months.
Last Wednesday detectives went to Tuyisenge’s home in North Nashville where a victim’s stolen airpods were tracked. He fled from the home when officers arrived.
During the execution of a search warrant, 66 items were seized from his room belonging to 28 different victims. Those items included two AR-15 pistols, checkbooks, credit cards and a key programmer.
Two stolen vehicles were also located in the driveway. One was a locked 1997 Honda Civic stolen on September 4 from West End Avenue where a witness saw the suspect use a tool to gain entry to the vehicle. The other, a Honda Pilot, was stolen on September 15 from Hickory Trace Drive after the driver left it unlocked overnight.
He is charged with 21 counts of motor vehicle burglary, three counts of theft, two counts of vehicle theft, and drug paraphernalia. He is currently being held in lieu of $232,000 bond.
