The Chadron Police Department is asking the public for help in solving the theft of tools in a January 2nd burglary at the Bomgaar’s store.

Officers responding to a burglary call about 1:33 a-m determined that a single individual had entered the Bomgaar’s lot on foot and forced open the store’s front door. The person apparently targeted the tool aisle and focused on sockets.

Investigators believe the individual left the Bomgaar’s lot on foot, but have have had an accomplice in a waiting automobile some distance to the south…possibly on or near Highway 385 and 10th Street.

Anyone with any information on this burglary or any other crime is urged to call the Chadron Police Department at 308-432-0510 or the Dawes County Crimestoppers Hotline at 308-432-0519. Calls may be made anonymously, with those to Crimestoppers eligible for rewards up to $1,000.
