LINCOLN, Neb. - The Lancaster County Sheriff's Office says a man got stuck in the driveway of a home where he had just committed a burglary.

Sheriff Terry Wagner says Alexander Janeke burglarized a shed at a home near NW 98th Street and Pawnee Lake State Recreation Road in Lincoln around 7:30 p.m. Monday.

Wagner says Janeke was attempting to drive a car out of a driveway in the home. When the homeowners went out to see if the driver needed help, Wagner said, they noticed belongings from their shed inside the car.

 

Deputies learned that the car Janeke was attempting to drive was stolen out of Lincoln. They say Janeke had broken into a storage shed on the property and taken a black motorcycle helmet, wire, a fishing toolbox and other belongings.

Janeke was arrested and is facing burglary charges.
