Two people have been charged in connection with a burglary that occurred last month in Centralia that resulted in roughly $9,000 worth of items being stolen.
Chase Wyatt, 39, of Centralia, was charged with stealing more than $750. He was also charged in another case on Thursday with passing a bad check. He is being held at the Boone County Jail without bond. An initial court appearance was held on Wednesday. He has a confined docket hearing scheduled for 1 p.m. Thursday, while a preliminary hearing is scheduled for 9 a.m. Tuesday, Dec. 30.
Denver Robb, 39, of Centralia, was charged with two counts of receiving stolen property and one count of drug possession. He is also being held at the jail without bond. A confined docket hearing is scheduled for 1 p.m. Tuesday and a preliminary hearing is set for 9 a.m. Thursday, Dec. 18.
The probable cause statement says police were called on Oct. 29 to a Centralia home after $9,000 worth of items were stolen, including guitars, amplifiers, knives and a camera.
The victim in the case told law enforcement that he saw several of the stolen knives on Nov. 4 at Tiger Pawn in Mexico, Missouri, the statement says. A ticket for the sale showed Wyatt sold the knives on Oct. 30.
Police used LeadsOnline to determine Wyatt allegedly sold a camera in Lee’s Summit, the statement says.
Robb was arrested on Nov. 7 and allegedly told police that he sold stolen property with Wyatt at a Guitar Center in Lee’s Summit, the statement says. Police also found amps and other stolen musical gear at Robb’s residence, court documents say. The Guitar Center location confirmed to police that Wyatt sold them three guitars and two amps on Oct. 31, the statement says.
A court document for another individual in the jail mentions Wyatt in a separate burglary case.
Cinda Smith, 43, of Hallsville, was charged with second-degree burglary and stealing a gun. She is being held at the jail on a $20,000 bond.
A probable cause statement says a Centralia homeowner reported to police on March 20 that 43 guns were stolen from his home between Feb. 10-14.
Police wrote that Wyatt’s phone was examined and a conversation about the alleged burglary, including photographs, occurred on Feb. 13. Photos of stolen guns were also observed by police and additional messages allegedly showed plans to sell them, the statement says.
Police eventually found a storage unit on Nov. 5 that contained stolen property that was identified by the owner, the statement says. Additional photos of Smith were found in the unit, along with items that had her name listed, court documents say.
