Lancaster police have arrested two men—one of whom they talked down from a third-floor roof — and charged them with last November’s inside job that led to the theft of about $13,000 in cash from a safe at the Transit Road bowling center.

Brian Schoemann, 27, of Slate creek Drive, Cheektowaga, and his roommate, Nicholas Snyder, 23, were charged with felony burglary and grand larceny in connection with the break-in at AMF Lancaster Lanes.

Police arrested Schoemann early Tuesday afternoon and went back in the evening to arrest Snyder, who had climbed onto the roof. With the assistance of Cheektowaga police, Lancaster officers managed to persuade Snyder to come down from the roof.

Lancaster Detectives Edward Wojtal and Thomas Bulera cracked the case after finding a fingerprint on the alarm panel that was being immobilized. That fingerprint belonged to Schoemann, who had worked at the bowling alley for 13 years, police said. Snyder also had worked there.

“We knew it was an inside job, but there were a lot of employees we had to look at,” Wojtal said.
