Police believe they’ve solved major burglary

Four people have been charged and two more face possible charges following an investigation into a burglary earlier this month at a Hutchinson home.

Hutchinson police received a report Nov. 2 of a burglary in the 800 block of Church Street in which items worth $6,365, mostly electronics, were taken.

Police interviewed several people during their investigation and found stolen items in searches of homes in Country Club Terrace mobile home park and at an apartment in the 1000 block of South Grade Road.

Those arrested and charged thus far include the following Hutchinson residents: Alexander T. Duenow, 20, Derek A. Mattson, 18, and Travis M. Stanton, 21, all charged by the McLeod County Attorney’s Office with felony second-degree burglary; and Stanton’s father, Christopher E. Stanton, 37, who was charged with receiving stolen property.

Dustin J. H. Andree, 20, of Hutchinson was arrested on Nov. 12, on a warrant for allegedly violating probation and faces a possible misdemeanor charge of possession of stolen property. An 18-year-old Brownton man, who hasn’t been arrested, faces a similar charge.

Another man, who lives in a South Grade Road apartment where a stolen flat screen television was recovered, was arrested, but later released.
