If you've had property stolen from your house, it could be at the Lonoke County Sheriff's office. A drug arrest lead to the discovery of all the stolen property. Several flatscreen TVs, Guns, and an Xbox game were all stolen and now the Lonoke County Sheriff's office is trying to find the owners.

The items are compliments of 26-year-old Jake Robertson and 19-year-old Kailee Horton of Cabot, charged with drug possession and theft by receiving.

"We do have suspects that we are attempting to locate that we believe actually committed the burglaries," says Lieutenant Jim Kulesa

Deputies found jewelry charred in a barrel. The thieves tried to burn it. On the pendants the word "dad," along with other names and birth dates.

"That meant something to somebody and when you get someone steal it and try to cover up the crime, it serves no purpose," says Lt. Kulesa.

Here is some advice for people who buy new merchandise; It's always a good idea to engrave the item. But most importantly, remember to write down serial numbers.

"If its an item of jewelry that doesn't have a serial number on it, then take a digital photograph of it with a description," explains Lt. Kulesa.

Deputies want to return the belongings to its rightful owners. But you can't just walk in off the street and claim it. You have to prove it or it could end up on the auction block.

If you believe the stolen property is yours, or know who it belongs to, call the Lonoke County Sheriff's office.

Robertson and Horton will be in court in August.
