WADENA -- Three juveniles were arrested Friday in connection with a Sept. 29 burglary at Bill's Guns, two miles north of Wadena.

Wadena County Sheriff Mike Carr reported two 17-year-old males from Sebeka were arrested after allegedly breaking into Bill's Guns and stealing several handguns, rifles, shotguns and ammunition. A search was conducted at one of the suspects homes and several firearms were recovered.

The third suspect, a 17-year-old male from New York Mills, was also arrested, Carr said.

First-degree burglary charges are expected to be filed against the suspects this week, Carr said. Two of the three juveniles are being held in detention pending formal charges.

The Sebeka and New York Mills police departments, the Otter Tail County Sheriff's Department, the DNR, and the State Patrol assisted in the arrests.

Two arrested in drug busts

Two people were arrested in separate drug busts Thursday in Crow Wing County.

The Lakes Area Drug Investigative Division reported their agents and the Crow Wing County Tactical Team executed search warrants simultaneously at two residences in Fairfield Township.

At a residence on Highway 6 a 44-year-old man was arrested for fifth-degree sale of a controlled substance and fifth-degree possession of a controlled substance after LADID agents found 37 marijuana plants and suspected methamphetamine in his residence. The male is also scheduled to serve 115 days for a previous fifth-degree sale of a controlled substance conviction.

At the other residence, on County Road 36, a 36-year-old man was arrested for fifth-degree possession of a controlled substance after LADID agents found methamphetamine in his home. Several weapons were also recovered at the residence.

Both suspects are being held in the Crow Wing County Jail pending formal charges.
