( KNZA)--A Lawrence man has been charged in several Nemaha County, Kansas burglaries.
According to a release from the Nemaha County Sheriff's Office, the Sheriff's Office received multiple reports that between late Sunday night and shortly after 1:40 Monday morning, a suspect went onto six rural Seneca properties with the alleged intent to commit theft.
