Two alleged burglars were put behind bars on Friday, after deputies linked them to a residential burglary from January 21st and served a search warrant at their home.
Sergeant Brad O’Dell of the Douglas County Sheriff’s Office said on January 21st deputies responded to a report of a residential burglary in the 1800 block of Linnell Avenue in Green. Following up on the case, deputies located evidence which assisted in that investigation. Information was developed which led deputies to apply for a search warrant at a home on La Canada Drive, also in Green. On Friday night at approximately 7:15 p.m. deputies served the warrant with the assistance of Winston Police and the Oregon State Police.
O’Dell said initially multiple individuals were contacted. Deputies allegedly located a large quantity of stolen property which included electronics, tools, antiques, and a stolen firearm. Evidence of mail theft from approximately a dozen residences in the area was also recovered.
31-year old Cirith Ellenwood and 27-year old Robert Arwood were both arrested for first degree burglary, theft in the first degree, and criminal mischief in the second degree. Ellenwood was also detained for multiple outstanding arrest warrants. Arwood was initially detained on $306,250 bail, while Ellenwood was held without bail.
