Bosch catches burglars in the act

By Lori Ehde
Rock County law enforcement is working with Minnehaha County investigators in South Dakota on a burglary that Luverne native Tony Bosch stumbled on Sunday morning.

Shortly after leaving his rural Brandon residence Sunday morning, Bosch reportedly returned home after realizing he'd forgotten a set of keys.

Upon his return, he witnessed a burglary in process at a storage building on his property. It was about 6:45 a.m.

Burglars fled the scene and Bosch reportedly followed them in his vehicle. "It was like the Dukes of Hazzard," he said. "It was just crazy."

Investigators are purposely tight-lipped about details of the case while the investigation remains active.

So far no one has been arrested for the burglary, but in a case that police say is unrelated to the burglary, 19-year-old Mark Duane Lafrenz (no address given) was arrested at a rural intersection north of Brandon later that morning.

No information was available on what type of vehicle, if any, Lafrenz was driving.

He faces charges of possession of controlled substance.
