When police were not satisfied by the answers given by the two men during an interrogation on the premises of the bank, the two were directed to drive to the police station for further questioning. The two drove in their car and were followed by police to the police station. Police then found that there was a warrant outstanding for the arrest of Young for absconding. Stevens Point police were contacted and officers of the a County Sheriff's Department and Stevens Point Police Department were sent to Wisconsin Rapids.

Young was taken to Stevens Point on the warrant and the car was also taken to Portage County. Hansen was released by police about 4 p.m. because the Superior burglary and the possible tie-in was not known at that time. The Federal Bureau of Investigation was alerted and the special officer for the area said there was a possibility of involvement with the burglary at the home of the currency collector. Superior police were contacted and information was received on the incident.

A legal search warrant was obtained in Portage County for the inspection of the car the men were driving. The inspection turned up a large amount of cash but the amound found is far short of the $100,000 in face value allegedly stolen, police said. Wisconsin Rapids police said they observed a large amount of currency laying loose on the front floor of tne vehicle. A city employe told police that earlier to the day Friday he had observed the two men in their car flashing the money as they drove and throwing currency around. Hansen will be charged with receiving stolen property when apprehended while Young will face the Stevens Point charge and then be brought to Wisconsin Rapids to face the stolen property count.
