Waite Park Police: Felony Theft and
Possession of Burglary Tools
On 4/6/05, Space Alien's, at 700 2nd Street South, Waite Park, MN,
reported that unknown suspect(s) had successfully opened a token dispenser
inside their game room and removed an undetermined amount of cash. Review
of the restaurant's surveillance video showed at least three people
involved, 2 males and 1 female. There was no visible damage to the token
dispenser indicatil1g that a key had been used.
On the evening of 4/26/05, Space Alien's reported that two of the three
suspects were back at their restaurant. Officers of the Waite Park Police
Department responded and their investigation determined that the two were
involved in the theft on 4/6/05. Both suspects were arrested. They are
identified as:
Alvin Allen Madison, 1/25/73
Catherine Ann Nordin, 12/15/71
Both have an address of 2253 Skillman Ave, #15, North St. Paul, MN.
Upon taking the suspects into custody, Madison was found to be in
possession of various lock-pick tools, including a lock-pick device
capable of opening the token dispenser. A search warrant was executed on a
vehicle owned by Nordin. As a result of the warrant a large amount of
change and one dollar bills was recovered. The cash and change is
consistent to what would be found in a vending machine.
Also found in the vehicle were several lock-pick tools and devices.
350-400 keys were also found, including entire sets of keys to apartment
buildings, office buildings, and one set marked as belonging to a fire
department. Many of the keys are security keys of the "do not duplicate"
variety, and many of the keys are not available to the general public.
There are several tubular keys similar to those found on vending machines.
It is believed that one or both of these suspects may be involved in
burglaries throughout Minnesota and parts of Wisconsin.
Anyone with knowledge of this or any similar crime, please contact the
Waite Park Police Department at 320-251-3281 or Tri-County Crime Stoppers.
If you have experienced a loss due to a similar theft, that information
would be valuable to their investigation as well.
