Lincoln Crime Stoppers is asking for the public’s assistance in two separate cases, one regarding several tools stolen from two work vans and the other regarding a trailer stolen from a home under construction.
The first case occurred on February 3rd, 2024. Around 4:35 a.m., a suspect arrived at a kitchen remodeling business in the area of 56th and Nebraska Parkway.
Forensics Video Technician for the Lincoln Police Department Becky Keller says the suspect who arrived driving a Lincoln Navigator, broke out the windows on two work vans parked outside to get inside.
Once inside, the suspect stole various items, ranging from a $5 charging cable, to a $500 DeWalt table saw, and other tools totaling in value at $3,450.
Security video and photos of the incident can be viewed below.

The next case, occurred a few week later on February 19th. Keller said a home under construction in the area of 27th and Rokeby Road had a construction trailer stolen from the job site overnight.
A nearby neighbor’s home security camera captured footage of the trailer being hauled off by a light colored Jeep Gladiator around 4:30 a.m.
Ultimately, the trailer was ultimately recovered a few days later on February 23rd near 40th and Rokeby Road when someone reported the trailer sitting there for several days.
The lock on the trailer had been broken, giving the impression that someone had gained access, then decided they were uninterested in any of the items in the trailer and abandoned it.
Video footage and photos of the trailer being stolen can be viewed below.
