The stolen property has since been recovered.

A 35-year-old Windsor man was arrested June 17 and charged with theft over $5,000 and damage to property under $5,000.

A second suspect, a 44-year-old Lakeshore man, was arrested June 29. He faces charges including theft over $5,000, damage to property under $5,000, two counts of operation while prohibited, and breach of probation.

Police say the investigation remains ongoing and anyone with information is asked to contact them or Crime Stoppers.
