2 Men Wanted for Ohio Graveyard Raids Seized
Two men wanted in Ohio for raiding graveyards and stealing skulls for cult purposes have been arrested in West Los Angeles, local officials said this week.
Acting on a tip, detectives from the Los Angeles Police Department’s Fugitive Unit made the arrests earlier this week, Detective John Petievich said.
Detectives staking out an apartment on Westwood Boulevard arrested Brian Susko, 21. Detectives then drove to a residence on Lincoln Boulevard and arrested Maxmaillion Holtz, also 21.
The two are among six people suspected of digging up graves in Norwalk, Ohio, to steal skulls. Petievich said the skulls were used in cult ceremonies. The two were booked on warrants for felony vandalism.
