TERRE HAUTE, Ind. (WTWO/WAWV) — A little over a week after a 500-pound grill went missing from the German Oberlander Club in Terre Haute, the grill has been recovered.
According to Terre Haute Police, the club received information about the grill’s location Monday morning. Police investigated the tip and were led to a property in the 1700 block of Lafayette Avenue where the grill was found to have been stored in a garage.
The grill has since been returned to the club.
The club’s vice president said they were happy to have their equipment found and returned.
“I’m just glad we got it back before it was cut up and scrapped.” Club Vice President and Festival Chairperson Brad Cress said.
A resident was cited with misdemeanor theft after giving consent for police to search the property.
“The faith in the neighborhood and the people giving us the tips and asking how we’re doing outside. Has been very encouraging. It’s appreciated. It’s nice to have it back. We’ll make sure it doesn’t disappear again,” Cress said.
Cress also said the club will be increasing their security.
