Thousands of dollars in stolen property are recovered. Tulsa County Sheriff's Deputies say they are close to shutting down an elaborate burglary ring. Now they're working to reunite stolen items with their owners. Among the stash, saddles and horse tack totaling nearly $80,000. Police say a pawn shop owner tipped them off after a man tried to pawn a stolen saddle.
Detectives arrested 20-year-old Quinton Murphy. They say Murphy worked with as many as a dozen other people in a burglary ring targeting rural residents.
"It's an ongoing investigation. We're anticipating several arrests warrants to be issued within the next 10 days, at which time we will execute those warrants and arrest those people,†said investigator Jim Wolfe.
Detectives have already tracked down some of the property owners. One little girl was reunited with her beloved horse.
