Springhill police have arrested three individuals in connection with the alleged theft of thousands of dollars worth of items after following up on information regarding a stolen trailer.

Dillion Bartnett Tatom, 29, Leela Caswell, 27, and Allison Rushing, 27, have all been charged with illegal possession of stolen things after officers enforced a search warrant on their South Park Dr. residence Thursday.

All three are being held under bonds of $10,000 each.

Chief of Police Will Lynd said investigators learned the reported stolen trailer was located at the Springhill residence. Detectives found the 14-foot utility trailer and noted it had been painted and altered.

After obtaining a search warrant for the residence, the officers found a number of items including a large Generac air compressor, a 75-inch flat screen TV, two 110-window units, a deep freezer, hydraulic transmission jack, eight pipe wrenches, fishing poles and a floor jack.

One suspect reportedly admitted taking some of the items from the victim’s residence.
