Minneota Police Chief Bill Bolt has offered a $1,000 award to anyone offering information leading to the arrest and conviction of suspects in Sunday’s string of burglaries.
“If you have information, contact the Minneota Police Department at 507-360-7864,” said the chief.
The suspect or suspects apprently burglarized Gislason's Ace Hardware; Minneota Building Center and Bauer Automotive during the early morning hours on Sunday.
“The suspect (or suspects) entered the businesses through locked doors by using a pry bar,” said the chief of police.
In two of the cases, Gislason's and the Lumber Yard, cash was taken.
Chief Bolt didn’t specify how much was taken at either site.
He indicated, “No cash was taken from Bauer's.”
The only damage done at the three businesses was caused buy prying the doors.
At this time, the chief did not indicate if other items were also taken.
The Minneota Police Department will continue to investigate the burglaries but at this time is asking the public to assist in solving the crimes.
