Gering Police Find Burglary Suspect After Following Snowy Footprints

gering-policeGERING, Neb. (AP) — Police in western Nebraska found a burglary suspect after following footprints in the snow.

Gering Police were called to a repair shop Sunday morning to investigate a possible burglary.

The tracks in the snow led officers to a home where some of the stolen items and a suspect were found.

The 28-year-old told police he and another man had taken tools, a computer reader, police scanners and emergency lights from the business the previous night.

Police were still searching Monday for the other suspect in the burglary. A third man has been charged with possessing more than $5,000 worth of stolen property.
