Police Chief Keith Brothers reports that oat around 4:20-a.m. officers interrupted a burglary in progress at J Bruner’s Restaurant, located at 1100 E. Washington Street, in Clarinda. While conducting routine patrol officers observed a window that had been pried open on the west side of the restaurant and heard noises coming from inside the business. Officers investigated and apprehended two males inside the restaurant. 18-year old Kyle S.
