Hull, Iowa — A Hull man has been charged with felony burglary after an investigation into a report of a burglary in that town earlier this month.
The Sioux County Sheriff’s Office reports that their deputies arrested 26-year-old Jesse Van Leeuwen of Hull on Wednesday. They say the arrest stemmed from a burglary investigation that began on Wednesday, March 13, at 9:19 p.m., when a burglary alarm triggered at Lewis Family Drug on Main Street in Hull.
Deputies say that upon further investigation, they discovered that the front door had been forced open by breaking the glass and prescription medications were stolen from the pharmacy area inside the store. Deputies gained information that led to Van Leeuwen as a suspect in the crime. A search warrant was executed at Van Leeuwen’s residence and evidence from the drug store burglary was discovered as well as other property that linked him to another active Hull residential burglary investigation in which electronic equipment and personal property had been stolen.
Van Leeuwen was charged with two counts of burglary, which are class D felonies; two counts of theft, which are aggravated misdemeanors; and two counts of criminal mischief, which are serious misdemeanors. No court dates have yet been set in the case.
