A wanted suspect in Aberdeen could be involved in burglaries in a three-state region.
Minnehaha County Sheriff's Office Sgt. Jason Gearman said Tanner Dvorak is connected to stolen goods from Aberdeen through rural Minnehaha and Turner Counties, as well as Minnesota and Iowa. He said that authorities think he has ties to Micah Buum.

County detectives are working through a large amount of stolen property. Items such as four-wheelers and campers are included in the investigation.
The sheriff's office believes Dvorak and Buum are also connected to a string of burglaries in the Lennox area.
"We have a priority, and we have to maintain that priority. That's to find the people and to get the charges. There are so many victims out there, I could have four to five detectives calling victims to say, 'Are you missing this? Are you missing that?'" Gearman said. "I can't use those resources now to do that. But in the future, they're going to contacted."
Stolen property may also be involved in court as evidence, and Gearman added that getting that property back to its owner is next to impossible for the time being. He asked the public to be patient, and reiterated that property will be returned as soon as possible.
The sheriff's office does not have an exact estimate of the stolen goods. But Gearman said it's likely in the tens of thousands of dollars.
"Lock doors; lock your house," Gearman said. "It makes it harder for them to get in."
Dvorak is being held on warrants out of Brown County. More charges are likely to be filed this week.
