A 70-year-old Hayes Center man has been charged with stealing a trailer from a North Platte business.

On Tuesday, April 16, North Platte Police responded to the Do-It-Center at 1021 N. Jeffers in reference to a theft.

It was reported to police that the business had rented a trailer to Fred Unger.  Employees told police that Unger had rented the trailer on March 28, 2013, and was supposed to return it the next day.  However, he failed to return the trailer.

Following an investigation, Investigators determined there was probably cause to arrest Unger for Theft by Unlawful Taking-Failure to Return Rented Material, a Class IV Felony.

On April 30, Unger was processed and released from the Lincoln County Detention Center.
