Burglar Leaves Plenty Of Clues For Police

The suspect in a burglary Tuesday night wears a size 12 boot, but that's not all police learned from their investigation.
They also think they know the suspect's name, age, address and place of employment, thanks to the alleged burglar leaving behind a wallet and a trail of footprints in the snow.
Warsaw police were called to Warsaw Health Foods on East Center Street Wednesday morning when an employee discovered the break-in. About $1,000 in cash and several items of merchandise, including body-building vitamins, were believed taken during the burglary.
When police arrived, just one set of footprints was found exiting the business from a basement door. Officers tracked the prints south and found a cardboard box containing several of the stolen items hidden under a bush in a nearby alley.
The tracks were followed to East Market Street, over to Ker Park and back to Market Street before officers lost the trail. Upon returning to the business, officers determined entry into the structure was made through a basement window on which a metal covering was pried open.
When officers began looking for footprints in the dust on the basement floor, a wallet was located. Officers went to the suspect's home and spoke with his parents, but he has not yet been located. The investigation continues. [[In-content Ad]]
