On February 28th the Aurora Police Department and the U.S. Postal Service executed a search warrant at 3248 S. Cathay Cir. in Aurora in reference to a federal mail theft investigation.  During the search, evidence was collected that had a direct connection to the locksmith burglary.  At the conclusion of the investigation, investigators determined that Kenneth R. Blau (dob 11-20-74) and Andrew Matejka (dob 04-28-77) were responsible for the Evergreen burglary.  Blau had been sought by investigators for questioning but his whereabouts were unknown.
