in this week’s robbery of a Rochester convenience store.
A police spokesman says it was learned a van used by the robbery suspect had been stolen earlier from a local business and it was spotted yesterday by one of its employees at the south WalMart store. Investigators were eventually able to determine one of those who had used the van was the same guy suspected of robbing the Holiday store near St. Mary’s early Wednesday. He was later found at what police say was a homeless camp located near the Hy Vee south store and taken into custody. The man has been identified as 40 year old Todd Mielke.
