A Carson City man and an accomplice face felony burglary charges after authorities found them Tuesday at a Minden home loading up a vehicle of items they allegedly attempted to steal.
Joshua Anderson, 30, of Carson City and Jeremy Nelson, 36, of Minden face the charges following the home burglary in the 2800 block of Vicky Lane, according to Douglas County Sheriff's Office Sgt. Jim Halsey.

They had made entry into the residence through a rear door, and had removed property from the garage, loading it into their vehicle, Halsey said.

Nelson and Anderson were subsequently arrested and face felony burglary charges. During the investigation it was also discovered that Nelson is currently on parole for narcotics charges. Nelson’s Parole Officer requested he additionally be charged with parole violation.
