VALLEY CITY (NewsDakota.com) Authorities arrested a 19-year-old Buxton man Tuesday following a 3 month long investigation.

Barnes County Sheriff Randy McClaflin says Austin Anderson faces several counts of burglary and theft charges. Anderson was arrested Tuesday in Traill County.

McClaflin says storages sheds south of Sibley were burglarized in October and November. He says a bolt cutter and other items were used to gain entry. He says the suspect allegedly sold some of the items on the “Craig’s List” website.

Barnes County Chief Deputy Don Fiebiger says the stolen items were valued at nearly $8,000 including a $3,000 construction trailer and an $800 tool box.
