Local News

Six out of the 15 people indicted in connection with a theft ring that affected communities across the county have been arrested by the Pulaski County Sheriff’s Department.

The arrests come at the tail end of a three-month long investigation led by the sheriff’s department after a rash of burglaries were reported across the county in February 2008.

During the investigation, tips from the public led authorities to connect several individuals to the burglaries, which led to other suspects being discovered in connection with the theft ring.

Items such as firearms, electronics, and jewelry were reported stolen, and many of the items, valued at over $45,000 were returned to their owners.

According to a press release from the sheriff’s department, the following Pulaski County residents were arrested in connection with indictments handed down by a Pulaski County grand jury in May:
