According to Huntley Police Chief Richard Nelson, the burglar¬ ies foUowed a set pattern. The thie¬ ves would gain entrance to a house, usually through the front door when the occupants were not home, and within seven minutes tirne would take the possessions from t^e house. Nelson said that usually a look-out man drove around in a car whUe the burglary was taking place He added that sometimes the thieves had been tracked a distance of one mile t'nrough fields. Cl-thmg, Christmas presents, and guns were taken from both thhe Anderson and Hansford residences.
According to McHenry County Sherriff's Investigator Woods, Kra- usewas arrested on Decembsr 19. He was originally stopped by a Schamburg policeman named Dillon. PalroUman Dillon had stopped Krause's car on a headlight violat¬ ion. When he approched the Car Kraiwc jumped out and bei-ame abu sive. Krause jamed his hand into his pocket and Dillon grabbed it discharging 4 times the revolver Krause had concealed there. In the scuffle which followed, Krause man aged to escape but was later pick¬ ed up in a road block. No one was hurt  in the  shooting.
Woods said that upon chcckinn: with the different departments as to a gun loss, police finally tied it down that the gun had come from McHenry County and the Huntley burglaries.
Two of the guns taken from the Hansfords have been recovered and the police have information on the remaining items. They are still un¬ der investigation.
