A joint operation in Washington County leads to multiple arrests in a theft investigation.

The Bartlesville Police Department, Washington County Sheriff’s Office and the Dewey Police Department executed a search warrant in the 600 block of North Johnstone Avenue.  The operation resulted in 10 arrests on a variety of charges, including knowingly concealing stolen property, smuggling contraband into a jail facility, possession of drug paraphernalia, local warrants and warrants from other jurisdictions.

This is part of an ongoing investigation stemming from the recent Holbrook Asphalt theft case.  The property where the warrant was served is well known to local law enforcement and has been linked to multiple theft investigations in Bartlesville and surrounding areas.
