Following multiple leads, interviews, and evidence, Detectives were able to identify Charles Alan Bass and Teledo Tiwan Eady as the main suspects. Following the execution of multiple search warrants, both men have been arrested and charged with multiple counts of Burglary, Criminal Trespass and Criminal Damage to Property.
