(La Porte County, IN) - La Porte County Police are now saying that two men stole a large amount of items before turning the merchandise into cash.
Dean and Kevin Woodruff have been charged with Burglary after they reportedly forced their way into a shed earlier this month on West Rukmin Trail near 700 West and Bleck Road. From the scene, a pressure washer, snow blower, chainsaw, and power rake were among the numerous pieces of equipment taken.
According to court documents, police were alerted after the men received cash for the equipment from pawn shops in Michigan City and La Porte. What they received for the equipment was not revealed, but all of the items were valued at slightly more than $7,000.
Per authorities, the men, in their 30s, lived close to the shed they broke into. They each could face an up to six-year sentence on the Level 5 felony charge.
