North Platte Police have arrested another man in connection with a stolen firearm.

Timothy Leeper, 24, has been charged with a felony after Police identified him as a suspect in a theft from the 700 block of West B Street in North Platte.

Police responded to a reported theft in the 700 Block of West B on July 30th.  Through their investigation, Police identified the suspects as 24-year-old Timothy Leeper and 29-year-old Christopher Rosenberg.  Investigators say the duo stole personal property, including a firearm, from the residence.  Police soon learned that the firearm in question had been seized from a residence on North Bailey on July 17th during a search.

Rosenberg was taken into custody and charged with being a Felon in Possession of a Firearm on Monday.  On Tuesday, an Investigator met with Leeper regarding the stolen firearm.  It was determined that there was probable cause to believe Leeper had been in possession of the firearm when it was seized from the North Bailey residence.

Subsequently, Leeper was charged with Felony Possession of Stolen Property-Firearm, and booked into the Lincoln County Detention Center.

The Lincoln County Sheriff’s Office website did not have a bond listed for Leeper.  Rosenberg’s bond is set at 10% of $75,000.
