Brewer was a suspect in that case, police said.<\/p>\n<\/div>\nAn earlier photo of Brewer was similar to the man shown in the video taken at Power\u2019s home. A check of cellphone records showed Brewer was at the house when the duo stole the safe, police said.<\/p>\n
Following their investigation, Henderson police booked Brewer Tuesday at the Clark County Detention Center.
