REXBURG,Idaho — Electronics, video games, CD’s, and animated figures are just few of the items that were recovered after a burglary bust. Who would ever imagined that a normal traffic routine would lead Rexburg police department to interrupt a major operation theft.

Two every everyday looking people, Jeffrey Smith and Cristal Hansen were arrested after they were pulled over for speeding on highway 20, charged and responsible of the burglaries. According to the agents, the merchandise found belongs to different businesses like Kmart, Wal-Mart, and other places from southeastern Idaho

 “The thieves avoid security alarms through removing the labels on the items and flushing them down the toilet, quite a creative move on their part”

 “About twenty nine businesses we so far can fairly and certainly say that has been burglarized. We recovered four hundred and seventy three pieces of stolen items in access of twelve thousand dollars."

While the police keeps working on further investigation the preliminary hearings will be held this month in the Rexburg court, and we will be there to bring you more details on the story.
