NE man steals thousands of dollars' worth of brass

A southeast Nebraska man is accused of stealing thousands
of dollars' worth of brass from his employer.

Nemaha County Court records say 26-year-old Justin Heard is charged with 11
counts of burglary and three of theft. The records don't list the name of an
attorney who could comment for him. Heard's next court hearing is scheduled for
tomorrow.

A court document says surveillance shows Heard loading brass into a vehicle at
Magnolia Metal in rural Auburn. Investigators say he sold the brass for nearly
$14,000 to a recycler in Council Bluffs, Iowa. The records say the crimes began
occurring in August.
