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.
