By now everyone knows that the area was hit by a group of local thieves and that at least two of the ringleaders are now behind bars. What many may not have discovered yet is that they are actually among the victims. According to the Uintah County Sheriff’s Office, a massive amount of property recovered in the case is still unclaimed and fills an entire room at the Sheriff’s Office. “We would like people to please check your home and property for your valuables,” shares Sgt. Brian Fletcher. “There are many people who have been victims but have not made a report. If you have things missing from your property and didn’t make a report, please do so now. We would like to reunite people with their property if we can.” The case continues to keep detectives busy with one detective spending every working hour since the arrests on just dealing with the property involved. “We believe there are victims out there that have no idea yet that they were victims,” says Sgt. Fletcher. “Check and make sure your valuables are where you know they last were.” Community members are always urged to keep their home and vehicles locked with valuables, including delivered packages, out of sight.
