Ketchum police reported Monday that a series of computer thefts have been solved with the arrests last week of two 16-year-old Hailey boys.

Ketchum Interim Police Chief Mike McNeil said three laptop computers and other items stolen in three burglaries this month in the city were recovered after a search warrant was executed at the home of one of the boys.

McNeil said the thefts occurred March 23 at a home on Bordeaux Street in west Ketchum, on March 19 at a business on West River Street and on March 1 at a home on Sage Road in Warm Springs. The two juveniles were arrested Thursday, March 26. McNeil said they will likely be petitioned into juvenile court on felony burglary charges.

"These subjects may be involved in other thefts around the county so we're doing some further investigation," he said.
