A loaded rifle stolen from an unlocked vehicle in Lincoln in December was found near the parking lot of a Runza off West O Street on Monday, a police spokeswoman said.
On Dec. 2, a 31-year-old man reported the rifle stolen from his unlocked pickup parked outside of his home in the Capitol Beach area, Officer Angela Sands said Tuesday.
Just after 2 p.m. Monday, Runza employees picking up trash east of the parking lot at 610 W. O St. found the firearm in the grass, Sands said.
The rifle had one round in the chamber, she said.
