An East Grand Forks (MN) man faces charges in connection with an investigation into a burglary of a liquor store on two separate occasions.
East Grand Forks police responded to a business alarm at Pop’s Liquor on July 10th. Officers discovered a forced entry and merchandise removed. Three days later they returned to the liquor store and discovered another break-in.
A review of surveillance video led investigators this week to the home of Michael Johnson. During the arrest officers were able to locate some of the stolen merchandise.
Johnson has been charged by the Polk County Attorney’s office with two counts of felony 3rd degree burglary and two counts of misdemeanor theft.
