Perham, Otter Tail County (trfnews.i234.me) — In a major break in a months-long investigation, Dustin James Beck of Perham, Minnesota, has been formally charged in connection to a burglary spree that rocked Otter Tail County during the fall of 2024.
On December 2nd, 2024, deputies responded to a report of a break-in on the 4400 block of McGawan Estates Road. Though nothing was missing from that particular incident, it was the 44th burglary call reported in that area since September 2024 — and it led investigators to Beck.
Authorities now confirm Beck is charged with felony burglary and possession of a firearm by a felon previously convicted of a violent crime. Earlier burglaries involved stolen firearms, adding urgency and weight to the investigation.
Law enforcement says another suspect may be involved. The case is still unfolding. Stay with us for updates.
