ST. LOUIS — A grand jury this week indicted a 22-year-old man on more than 50 charges related to numerous car break-ins from late last year.
Eugene Jamison III, of ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½, broke windows, snatched purses from car seats and stole iPads, jewelry, a Nintendo Switch and multiple guns over the course of a month, court records say — all while on probation for similar charges.
He targeted vehicles parked downtown on various streets including 14th, Locust and Spruce, plus Washington Avenue. He broke windows on cars near Chouteau and Jefferson avenues, court records say.

Sometimes, he watched people leave their vehicles before breaking their windows, charges say.
He was finally arrested Dec. 10 when police watched him breaking into cars on North Broadway near Chestnut Street, police said.
