Three men were arrested as part of an investigation into burglaries from multiple cell towers in the area, according to Gage County Sheriff’s Deputies. Two of the men are believed to have burglarized the U.S. Cellular tower substation near Blue Springs on August 11, according to a statement from the sheriff’s office.
The Beatrice Daily Sun reported that two men, Johnathan Loury and Trevor M. Hurley, were arrested during a traffic stop as part of an ongoing multi-county burglary investigation. The two men were lodged at the Gage County Detention Center for burglary, conspiracy to commit burglary, accessory to burglary and theft by receiving stolen property. Loury was also arrested for possession of burglar’s tools.
Deputies also arrested David Stevens after obtaining a warrant to search the property where he was residing. During the search, deputies located electrical items believed to be from at least one of five different cell phone tower substations that had been burglarized in Gage, Jefferson, and Saline counties. Deputies also located items believed to have been used to commit these burglaries and areas where it appeared stolen wire was being burned, reported the Sun. Stevens was arrested for accessory to burglary, possession of burglar’s tools, plus theft by receiving stolen property.
Criminal charges for all three men are pending in both Jefferson and Saline Counties. The investigation is ongoing and more arrests are possible, according to the Sun.
