Lincoln Police didn’t have to go far to arrest a suspect in a burglary at the O’Reilly Auto Parts store at 11th and Arapahoe. Captain Todd Kocian says officers were called to the store just before 7:00 Monday morning.

“An employee arrived for work and as she neared her office, she heard a voice and observed an individual sitting at her desk with money and a hammer lying on the desk,” Kocian says.   Arriving officers took 25-year-old Lane Duncan of Lincoln into custody without incident.

He says a front glass door and a cash register were damaged.  Duncan was arrested for burglary and possession of burglars tools.
