Le Mars Juvenile Delinquency Case Probed By Sheriff
Sheriff Frank Scholer began breaking up a loosely organized juvenile mob around Le Mars by questioning six teens and adding others to a call list. No formal charges have been filed yet. the youths, ages 14 to 16, attend Le Mars Union and Remsen schools. The probe followed a blizzard rescue of a car left in a ditch by two boys who later saw stolen items vanish from the Henrich farm, triggering a cascade of confessions. Items recovered include flashlights, shirts, cameras, wreaths, and a pocketknife. Investigators seek if a fence exists and whether a single mob operated or several independent pairs carried out thefts from parked cars. Scholer plans juvenile court action once evidence is complete.
