Burglaries under investigation in Pott. County

News

October 2nd, 2013 by Ric Hanson

Authorities in Pottawattamie County are seeking tips from the public that might help them solve several burglaries which occurred late last week and over the weekend. The incidents took place between Sept. 26th and 29th. According to Sheriff’s officials, a car wash in Avoca was hit twice, once during the early morning hours of Sept. 26th, and again during the morning of Sept. 29th. The thief got away with some change during the first incident, but they were unsuccessful during their second attempt.

Last Friday, a burglary at an implement dealership in Macedonia resulted in the theft of more than three-dozen batteries. The incident occurred during the early morning hours. Surveillance video shows similar vehicles were present during the incidents, but it is very grainy and it’s not clear if the vehicle is actually the same one used by the suspect or suspects.

In addition, a restaurant in Walnut was broken into on Sept. 26th, with the culprit getting away with a bag of cash. A dollar amount of the loss is not available. And, a car wash in Minden was broken into on September 26th just before 6-a.m., but authorities were able to identify and arrest three subjects from that incident about 30 to 45 minutes after it occurred. No names have been released.
