(Radio Iowa) – Des Moines police have made an arrest in an armed home invasion case which contains a lesson for all Iowans about posting photos on the internet. Police were called to Des Moines’ Oak Park neighborhood where a family reported four people burst into their home, one of them carrying a gun, and they were robbed of $60,000 in cash.

Detectives later learned a teenager in the home had posted images of the cash on a social media platform before the robbery. Officers served a search warrant on Wednesday and recovered a substantial amount of cash and charged 18-year-old Mohamed Abukar with robbery.

More arrests are pending. Police say having cash on hand may be helpful, but it also means risks — like fire and theft — which may not be covered by insurance.
