A Searcy County man was among three people arrested for the theft of two vehicles and contents from those vehicles in Branson. Thirty-seven-year-old Simon D. Albrecht of Harriet was arrested Monday.
Branson police say they were notified of a stolen vehicle by the owner and less than an hour later, the vehicle was located at the Walmart Supercenter with Albrecht in the vehicle. Officers continued their investigation and arrested a second suspect, 26-year-old Joseph Nelson of Oldfield, Missouri.
The second vehicle was recovered later on Monday. Some of the contents from the vehicle were missing which led authorities to arrest a third suspect, 53-year-old Eric Dean Leonard of Branson.
Albrecht is charged with a felony count of tampering with a motor vehicle and two felony counts of property damage. He is being held in the Taney County Jail on a $15,000 bond.
