Investigators of the Douglas County Sheriff’s Office have identified a Carson City man suspected in two recent burglaries that occurred at the Village Launderette in Gardnerville.
On the evenings of Oct. 19 and Nov. 2, an adult male broke into several coin boxes of washing machines at the Village Launderette, stealing an undisclosed amount of currency.
Douglas County Sheriff’s Office Investigator John Preston developed information that led him to believe 46 year-old Erick Leroy Rogers of Carson City was responsible.
Surveillance video from the incident, including video footage of the suspect and his vehicle, implicated Rogers as the suspect. Rogers is believed responsible for similar burglaries in Carson City.
On Friday, Nov. 4, Rogers was taken into custody by Douglas County and Carson City detectives at the Carson City Inn Motel where he was residing.
Rogers is currently in custody in the Carson City jail on a charge of burglary. His bail is set at $25,000.
A warrant of arrest is pending from Douglas County.
