 A 40-year-old Fauston man is in custody after allegedly burglarizing fish houses on Lake Bemidji. Deputies observed a minivan make brief stops at about a half-dozen fish houses. The van was driven by Christopher Robin Braun, who is charged with two counts of third-degree burglary. Braun and a passenger inside the minivan were found under the influence of a controlled substance. Fishing equipment was found in the backseat along with multiple other items. Law enforcement says it's best to use common sense when you're not using a fish house. We encourage people not to leave valuables in their fish house. Take them with them, haul them in, haul them out, but don't leave anything of value inside the fish house that they don't have to. None of the fish houses are going to be safe from being broke into. They have enough time and then enough tools with them, they're going to get into your fish house. So we encourage you to pack it in, pack it out. If you leave valuables in your fish house, law enforcement encourages you to take pictures of the items and record serial numbers and also report any suspicious activity you may see on the lake. If you are missing items from your fish house, you can contact the Beltrami County Sheriff's Office.
