MADISON – Madison police have arrested 30-year-old Christopher Sean Davis of Madison for two counts of robbery in the third degree and three counts of the theft of property in the first degree.

In May, police officers responded to three vehicle thefts, during which the offender stole victims’ vehicles while they were left temporarily unattended but within view of the victims.
