It started when the owner of a Willow Springs storage unit caught two people in the act of stealing from his units. Texas county Sheriff Carl Watson tells KSPR News the owner jumped on the hood of the pickup truck as the two sped away. Even though he was flung off the truck, he managed to get the license number.

A short time later the truck was traced to a man in Elk Creek, northeast of Cabool. Police from Cabool and Mountain Grove helped Texas county deputies arrest the suspects. The sheriff says the men have been linked with burglaries of storage units in Cabool, Willow Springs, Mountain Grove, and rural Texas, Howell and even Douglas counties.

"We have 110 known victims," said Sheriff Watson. The break-ins began 2-3 weeks ago. "We’ve got a lot of stuff that’s not identified and we’ve got a lot of stuff that we identified that the owners have picked up," the sheriff said. Many other stolen items have already been pawned. "They took anything they could get: tools, saddles, guns, electrical, tires, wheels, ,air compressors, bicycles… a lot of fishing equipment, two flatbed trailers… the numbers were all removed from the trailers," Watson said.
