LOUISVILLE, KY. (WDRB) -- Shepherdsville Police have made an arrest in the burglary at the Awesome Flea Market, off Interstate 65 in Shepherdsville.  They arrested Peter Barth Wednesday on unrelated charges, then their investigation linked him to the burglary.

On Monday, police said surveillance video captured images of men who got away with nearly $100,000 worth of valuables and rare coins. Officers said they went into the flea market and disabled the alarm system.  The burglars mostly targeted coin dealers, taking silver and gold coins, and silver certificate bills.
