A Springfield man who was already on parole for a drug conviction is now back in custody on charges including burglary and motor vehicle theft.
The investigation began last month when a homeowner in Cantrall confronted three people in a vehicle outside the home. The occupants took off, but the vehicle was later found abandoned and was impounded. Then on June 1st, county deputies were called to investigate a residential burglary near Loami. And on June 8th, a Shelby Cobra kit car and other items were stolen from a Springfield storage locker.
Information from the seized vehicle led police to 32-year-old Brian Hiler, Hiler, who has more than 20 prior arrests, is being held on $500,000 bond in connection with both the Springfield and Loami break-ins.
