Seymour police say that tools, car parts and copper fittings were taken from a garage in the 300 block of South Carter Street last week. Property owners provided police with video evidence of a vehicle leaving the scene of the thefts. That and other evidence on the scene led police to a home in the 800 block of West Laurel Street on Thursday.

More than 70 items were recovered from the home on West Laurel Street and 14 more items found in a home in the 700 block of South Walnut Street.
