A burglary at the Woods Tennis Center at 401 South 33rd Street around 1:30 Friday morning leads to the arrest of a teenager.
“When officers arrived, they found a window shattered and that someone had gained entry into the building. The director reported that the office had been ransacked and gift cards, cash, and checks had been stolen,” says Officer Erin Spilker.
She says they reviewed security video that showed two individuals enter the building, steal items, and damage a vending machine. In total, there was an estimated $800 damage to the building and an undisclosed loss.
On December 11th officers made contact with a 16-year-old male on an unrelated call for service. Officers determined that this was the same male seen in the video from this burglary.
The teen was arrested for Burglary and Possession of Burglar’s Tools and turned over to the Youth Services Center. This investigation is ongoing and anyone with information is encouraged to call Lincoln Police at 402-441-6000 or Crime Stoppers at 402-475-3600.
