On Friday, area law enforcement agencies served a search warrant on Alexander Road in northeastern Pettis County, in regards to stolen vehicles, trailers, farm implements, and lawn equipment.
A press release from the Pettis County Sheriff's Department says that deputies were assisted by the MSHP Rural Crimes Unit, Missouri State Park Rangers, and investigators with the National Insurance Crime Bureau.
At the time of the report, investigators were still on-scene and had seized over $100,000 in stolen property from Pettis County and surrounding communities, including Sedalia.
