2 Men Accused of Faking Armed Robbery in Omaha

armed robberyOMAHA, Neb. (AP) — Authorities say two men have been accused of faking an armed robbery in Omaha.

An Omaha police news release says a man reported early Wednesday morning that as he was leaving a building an armed man forced him back inside and forced him to open a safe. Police say detectives soon determined that the man was lying. They eventually found the other man and arrested both.

Police say 21-year-old Adam Norton is charged with theft, conspiracy and false reporting and say 21-year-old James Reck is charged with theft and conspiracy and charged for theft in an unrelated crime.

Online court records don’t list the names of attorneys who could be contacted to comment for the men.
