Two males were arrested in connection with the Oct. 12 theft of nearly $29,000 in equipment from Great Lakes Veneer in Marion.
According to a police statement, five days after Marion police received the initial burglary call, officers recovered some of the stolen property from an address in the Town of Grant.
On Oct. 22, the Marion Police Department, through investigation, determined that the remaining equipment was being kept at a residence in the Town of Wyoming in Waupaca County and executed a search warrant at that residence with the assistance of the Waupaca County Sheriff’s Office. The remaining equipment was located along with illegal drugs and drug paraphernalia.
That same day, two males were arrested for possession of stolen property, possession of methamphetamine and possession of marijuana. These charges along with referrals for criminal prosecution for other parties involved have been sent to the Waupaca County District Attorney’s Office.
All of the missing equipment has been recovered.
