LINCOLN–(KFOR Apr. 24)–A couple of recent crimes are part of this week’s Crime Stoppers report from Lincoln Police, including a larceny and shoplifting at a home improvement store and a trespassing case at a north Lincoln home.
LPD forensics technician Becky Keller says in the larceny and shoplifting case from March 23 at the Home Depot off of 70th and Nebraska Parkway, a woman left the store with a purse larger than what she walked in with, and the man left with a cart full of Milwaukee brand tools. The list of items stolen includes several lithium ion battery packs, a double drill impact kit, and an impact wrench. Total loss is around $1,500.
Keller said the suspects left in a white pickup truck with no license plates.
Then on March 28, LPD was sent out to a home near 33rd and Holdrege, where a trespassing took place. Keller said the suspect went onto the victim’s porch and sat on a rocking chair. The suspect dips a hot dog into a drink and left the trash on the porch. Keller says the suspect then goes and looks around the backyard of the home, wanders around before he walked away on foot.
