Lincoln Police were called to the Tanglewood Apartments near 44th and R just before noon on Tuesday to investigate the theft of work equipment from a vehicle.
Captain Todd Kocian says a 47-year-old man told officers that sometime between December 31 and January 3 someone shattered the drivers side window of his work van.
“Once inside, they removed $24,900 worth of locksmith tools and equipment,” Kocian says. “This included various power tools, key programmers, lock installation tools and key readers.”
Damage to the van estimated at $200. This investigation is ongoing and anyone with information is encouraged to call 402-441-6000 or Crime Stoppers at 402-475-3600.
