The Shelby County Sheriff’s Office reports two people have been arrested in connection with a burglary that occurred last month. 59-year old Gerard Rueschenberg, of Westphalia and 58-year old Leann Grieder, of Harlan, have been charged with Burglary in the 3rd degree. Both were brought to the Shelby County Jail and later posted $5,000 bond each before being released.

Authorities say evidence discovered during a rural farm residence burglary on Dec. 20th resulted in a search warrant being executed Dec. 22nd at Rueschenberg’s residence in Westphalia. During the search, numerous items from the burglary were recovered. Additional items were recovered at the Grieder residence in Harlan on the same date.
