Duluth police have arrested a 21-year-old Duluth man in connection with a Saturday-evening burglary in the Endion neighborhood.
Police were called to the 1600 block of East Fifth Street at 7:47 p.m. on Saturday with a report of a burglary that had just occurred, a Duluth police news release said.
The caller said a man had entered his house with a flashlight and had stolen a snowboard and some electronic equipment while the caller was in bed.
Police found the suspect on Tuesday in a relative's home two houses away from where the burglary occurred. The suspect was taken to St. Louis County Jail, where he is awaiting formal charges of first-degree burglary. The News Tribune does not normally name suspects until they are formally charged.
Police said the suspect has previous convictions for arson, domestic assault and disorderly conduct.
