(KAIR)--Two arrests are made in connection with the alleged theft of electronics from the Holton Walmart store.
Jackson County Sheriff Tim Morse, in a news release, says the latest arrests are not connected with those made last week in Jackson County, following an investigation into a suspected multi-state theft ring alleged to have targeted the same store.
Taken into custody Monday night were 30-year-old Jason Aubrey and 31-year-old Kevin Parker, both of Bethany, Missouri.
According to Morse, the arrests followed a traffic stop on K-116 Highway, east of Holton.
It's alleged that three television's were found in the vehicle, while the resulting investigation also led to the recovery of a sound bar in Atchison County, and an additional television at a Denison residence.
It's alleged the electronics had been stolen from the Holton store.
Aubrey and Parker each face two counts of felony removing a theft detection device, two counts of misdemeanor theft, conspiracy to commit theft, and criminal damage to property.
Morse says the pair is also wanted by the Missouri Department of Corrections.
Parker, at the time of his arrest in Jackson County was wearing an ankle monitoring device because he was on house arrest.
Both were booked into the Jackson County Jail.
Last week, three Missouri residents were arrested in Jackson County in connection with the theft of electronics from the Holton Walmart.
That led to the execution of a search warrant at a Ferrelview, Missouri residence Friday through a joint investigation between the Jackson County Sheriff's Office and the Platte County Sheriff's Office.
Morse says the latest arrests are not tied to those crimes, which are believed to have been part of a crime ring that operated in Kansas, Missouri, Nebraska, and Iowa.
