BRECKENRIDGE, Minn. (KFGO/KVRR) – The Wilkin County Sheriff’s Office says a $6,000 reward is now offered for information leading to the return of money and personal documents taken in a burglary at a farm south of Barnesville last December.

A Fargo man, Benjamin Emerson, 37, was arrested.

Investigators say they believe others took part in the burglary.

The owner of the property, who put up the money, is hoping that the reward leads to additional arrests, the recovery of a safe, and property that was in the safe.
