A 34-year-old Lincoln man accused in a series of Lincoln business burglaries over the last two months went before a judge Tuesday afternoon. Clarence Wilson appeared in Lancaster County Court where bond was set at $2 million.
Lincoln Police arrested Wilson last Friday in connection with six separate break-ins between March 25th and May 13th. According to police, Wilson allegedly used a large rock or piece of concrete to smash glass doors or windows before entering the businesses. Police say safes, jewelry, cash, sports cards, Pokémon cards, memorabilia, and sexual pleasure devices were stolen during the crimes.
Following Wilson’s arrest, detectives served a search warrant at his home, where police say they recovered items connected to all six burglaries from inside the house and garage. LPD estimates the total loss from the burglaries at more than $30,000, with an additional $8,100 in property damage.
The businesses involved include Romantix on South 10th Street, Rosari’s Kitchen on ‘O’ Street, Capital City Sports Cards on South 59th Street, Variedades El Quentzal on South 13th Street and Lobo City Mex on North 27th Street.
