[October 19, 2012]  According to detective Paul Adams of the Lincoln Police Department, Uncle Buck's Trading Post was the site of a robbery that occurred sometime during the night on Wednesday.

An employee of the store, located on Woodlawn at the intersection of Woodlawn and Lincoln Parkway, arrived Thursday morning to find the glass front doors of the building broken.

Adams said this robbery involved the removal of merchandise from the store and does not appear to be related to the robberies in the downtown area earlier this month.

On Oct. 2, Lincoln police reported that nine businesses in the downtown area had been broken into during the night. In all those cases, the break-ins involved forceful entry with damage sustained to the properties involved.

Adams at that time said the thieves appeared to be searching primarily for cash and found very little.

On Thursday, Adams said those break-ins are still under investigation.

Evidence has been collected from the scenes of the crimes and sent off to a forensic laboratory.

Lincoln police were awaiting the results of the tests and once those were received would move forward with the investigation.
