(KNZA)--Three Missouri residents are arrested in Jackson County following the theft of numerous electronics from the Holton Walmart store.

Jackson County Sheriff Tim Morse, in a press release, says the alleged thefts occurred February 9 and March 25, by two of three suspects. He says the pair returned to the store Wednesday morning and allegedly attempted another theft.

Investigators believe they wanted the items to sell online.

They were arrested after store staff Wednesday recognized them and notified authorities.

A traffic stop followed near the store, and all three were arrested.

The two accused of committing the thefts in the store are 36-year-old Raven Neece and 31-year-old Joshua Thigpen, both of Ferrelview, Missouri.

With them in the car was 27-year-old Kansas City, Missouri resident Korilynn Barnes.

Morse says a search warrant was issued, and thousands of dollars of high-end electronics were found in the car.

Investigators believe the stolen items, including electronic tablets, ipads, and video games, had been stolen from locations in Kansas, Missouri, Nebraska, and Iowa.

It's believed the trio used Ebay to sell their ill-gotten gains.

Neece and Thigpen each face three counts of aggravated burglary, three counts of criminal trespass, felony theft, attempted theft, and two counts of tampering with a theft detection device.

Barnes faces charges of conspiracy to commit aggravated burglary, and tampering with a theft detection device and theft.

Following their arrests, all three were booked into the Jackson County Jail.
