(VIDEO) Scrap Metal Thieves Caught In The Act



Two men are in jail, accused of stealing scrap metal from a burned down farm south of Lincoln. Authorities arrested 31-year-old Aaron Neukirch and 25-year-old Cody Riesland, both of Lincoln, for trespassing and theft. Lancaster County Sheriff Terry Wagner said the landowner was out walking his dog and heard a sawing sound coming from his property near 38th and Bennet Road just after four o'clock yesterday (Thursday) afternoon. A third person, 34-year-old Amy Greenbush of Lincoln, was cited and released for trespassing. Wagner reported that the home burned down last year and the property owner occasionally stops by to check up on things. Yesterday (Thursday), he came across the theft in progress and called authorities. The total loss is reported to be $285.
