Glenn Beck Wanted in Rash of Burglaries After Using Key to City to Break Into Homes, Bank Vaults

glennbeck-cnn-11152006-01MOUNT VERNON, Wash. — The Mayor of Glenn Beck’s hometown, Mount Vernon, Washington, issued a plea for Beck to turn himself into police this morning after authorities issued a warrant for his arrest in connection with a series of burglaries over the weekend in the Mount Vernon area.

Beck was presented with a key to the city during a Saturday evening tribute that capped “Glenn Beck Day” in Mount Vernon.  The burglaries commenced immediately after the ceremony. 

No signs of forced entry were apparent in any of the break-ins, leading police to conclude that the perpetrator must have had access to each of the buildings and bank vaults burglarized.  Beck is the only person known to fit that description.
