Suspect sought in airport burglary

Huntington police are looking for a Fort Wayne man suspected of breaking into Huntington Municipal Airport.

The Huntington Police Department issued a statement Tuesday saying it has arrested one Fort Wayne man in a May 31 burglary in which cash, a cash register, a computer, a credit card and several other items were stolen.

Police traced the stolen credit card to several stores in Huntington and Fort Wayne. Surveillance tapes from the stores and information provided by the Fort Wayne Police Department’s detective bureau gave Huntington police enough information to identify the suspects and the vehicle involved, the statement said.

Huntington police obtained arrest warrants for David R. Dever, 26, and Jason P. Linsky, 27.

Linsky, of the 4200 block of Brimstone Road, was arrested on charges of burglary and forgery. He was released on $40,000 bond.

Police said Dever worked for a business that had repaired aircraft at the Huntington airport. Investigators are asking for the public’s help in locating him.

Dever’s last known address was in the 1100 block of Winnsboro Pass on Fort Wayne’s north side. He is wanted on charges of burglary, theft and two counts of forgery. His bail has been set at $40,000.

Anyone with information is asked to contact Crime Stoppers at 1-800-237-7867 or the Huntington Police Department at 260-356-7110.
