Minn. man accused of breaking into his own home

[January 02, 2009]  HUTCHINSON, Minn. (AP) -- A 19-year-old Hutchinson man was arrested after allegedly breaking into his own home and stealing a car, jewelry, some money, and other items.

Police said he allegedly lured his other family members away Friday afternoon by making a dinner reservation for them in Chanhassen. Then, while they were away, he broke into the garage and house, grabbed the booty, and took off in the car.

Police said their investigation revealed a connection to Duluth, so they notified St. Louis County authorities, and he was arrested later that night by police in Duluth.

He's was in the McLeod County jail, awaiting possible burglary and auto theft charges.
