Waterloo youth linked to armory gun thefts in South Dakota
Paul Hahn and Wayne Belanger, both youths from Waterloo, were arrested in Elk Point South Dakota after a late Saturday night attempt to stage a holdup near North Riverside Illinois. They admitted stealing four Colt's .45 guns and 500 to 600 rounds from Waterloo armory on October 29. Authorities in Elk Point may charge them with robbery with aggravation, which could prevent return to Waterloo. The guns match those used in the North Riverside attempt. Hahn previously served briefly in a local guard unit and knew armory stock. Waterloo police plan to confer with Elk Point to determine charges and jurisdiction.
