ST. LOUIS (AP) - After a recent theft arrest, St. Louis police are trying to find the owners of up to 300 recovered stolen goods.
The St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports that police found the items while carrying out a search warrant on Sept. 10 at a suspected drug house on the city’s south side. Detectives found four firearms and methamphetamine along with stolen goods that included three trailers, dozens of electronics, power tools, a concrete mixer and a moped.
Detective Matthew Boettigheimer said it appears that the thefts were “crimes of opportunity.”
It marked the second big theft bust in St. Louis in about a year. In December, police recovered 150 items after two burglary suspects were arrested.
