Earlier this month the Stanton County Sheriff’s office with assistance from the Columbus Police Department recovered seven stolen firearms that were taken from a rural Norfolk residence located just into Stanton County last year. The firearms were all found in the possession of a Columbus man who faces charges in Platte County. The investigation into the person(s) responsible for the gun burglary is still being undertaken by the Sheriff’s office. In a separate investigation the Sheriff’s office recovered a large quantity of stolen items at a Pilger residence that had been stolen from a storage shed break-in in Norfolk. The items were recovered and transferred to Norfolk Police who are assisting in the ongoing investigation. A suspect in the case, Andrew Allen is currently in custody on drug related charges in Stanton County.
