DURANT — Three suspected burglars are behind bars and a warrant is being sought for a fourth suspect after sheriff’s deputies solved two burglaries.

Burglars hit the Rural Water District No. 5 office on Highway 78 at Chuck’s Corner late Saturday evening, according to Deputy Kevin Holt. The culprits entered the building, stole a safe and placed it into the back of a pickup owned by the water district.

On Sunday, Holt found the pickup abandoned on Five Doe Road at Blue and the safe was located at Highway 70 and Philadelphia Road at the cemetery. The burglars had pounded on the safe but were unable to open it, according to Holt.

Holt viewed surveillance footage from a camera at the convenience store across the road where the culprits parked.

“From the video footage across the street at Chuck’s Corner, we knew we were looking for a green Mustang,” Holt said.

Two men were arrested Thursday and a third had been arrested the day before on an unrelated warrant. Deputies received confessions from all but one of them. Holt said a warrant is being sought for the fourth suspect, a woman.

Three of the suspects also burglarized Roy’s One Stop at Platter, according to Holt. Charges against the suspects are pending a review of the report by the district attorney’s office.

In other crimes, a 2002 Jeep stolen from Umstead Body Shop in Durant was found burned by Deputy Kevin Nave, after he was dispatched at 12:15 a.m. Thursday to a vehicle fire on Pleasant Hill Road. Caddo firefighters put out the fire. Deputies learned later that day that it had been stolen.

Deputy Anthony Scavo investigated an automobile burglary Thursday morning at Thousand Oaks in Cartwright. Leslie Omer Jones told the deputy that several items, including a wallet, belt buckle, tennis shoes, tool bag, tools and a drill, were stolen out of his unlocked pickup.

Joseph Haun told Deputy John R. Hoffpauir II on Thursday that a box trailer owned by his father, Bobby Haun, was stolen at Umstead and Dove in Colbert. The trailer was last seen May 13.

Scavo investigated a couple of vandalism incidents Tuesday and Wednesday. Maxine Franklin on Old Highway 70 told him on Tuesday that someone drove into her mail box and newspaper box. The newspaper box was destroyed and the mail box was damaged.

On Wednesday, Jean Ann Cates told Scavo that someone damaged a window at Southern Oklahoma Treatment Services, possibly by hitting it with a rock. The damage was estimated at $300.

Also Wednesday, Steve G. Roberts in the 100 block of Crystal Lane in Durant told Scavo that his $25 garbage can was stolen.
