Several charged in 3-day burglary spree

BELL TOWNSHIP, Pa. — Three suspects are facing charges after a burglary spree hits a Westmoreland County community.

Six different locations throughout Bell Township were targeted over a 3-day period in December.

“They came between these 2 garages and between my yard and parked in the back of my garages. They opened the one bay and took a couple of go carts, my grandson’s kayak," Ray Bruner, one of those victims, said. “I’ve never had my garage bays locked in the 40 years I’ve lived here, but now they’ve all got locks on them."

The suspects got away with a wheel and tire off Bruner's pickup truck, but surveillance video from his street helped police track the suspects down.

Three men, Michael Lint, David Ziegenhagen and Dennis Riley are all charged. Riley has not yet been arrested.

The men are believed to be responsible for six burglaries, stealing everything from trash cans and tools to dirt bikes and a dryer.

Police said they found the stolen items at Riley's home on Carter Lane in Leechburg.
