The Mower County Sheriff’s Office is asking for the public’s assistance after a burglary early Monday morning in Brownsdale.

According to Mower County Senior Sgt. Investigator Steve Sandvik, deputies received an alarm call at 2:31 a.m. on Monday from the CHS gas station in Brownsdale. The alarm was coming from two areas and deputies saw two doors open; one forced open for entry, the other apparently used to escape.

A responsible store party responded to the scene and told the deputies that nothing appeared to be stolen or out of place, Sandvik said.

The Austin Police Department’s K9 was brought to the scene and the dog established a track through several yards before losing the scent. Sandvik said this indicated the suspect might have entered a vehicle.

Surveillance video from the gas station is under review.

Anyone with information regarding the burglary is asked to call the Mower County Law Enforcement Center at 507-437-9400. Calls can be made anonymously.
