                                                                         Stealing in Osceola
        On Jan. 18, 2018, a St. Clair County deputy was dispatched to 3981 NE 151 Road in reference to a stolen propane tank.
        Upon arrival the deputy spoke with Brenda Brooks. She stated someone had stolen her 500 gallon propane tank from her property along with 200 gallons of propane that was in the tank. The tank was a privately owned tank by Brooks.
        Brooks stated, she and her ex-boyfriend, use to own the property together. She also said the property sold at the court house on January 16, 2018, where she bought the property back.
        The deputy checked the area where the tank had been setting and could not locate any tracks in the snow.
        Brenda stated that two window air conditioners had also been taken out of the barn at some point. She did not know the make or model of the two units.
        Brenda had called the local propane suppliers to see if anyone had come and picked up the tank.
        Suspects have been named. Estimated total loss valued at $2,290.

                                                                         Stealing in Osceola
        On Jan. 15, 2018, a St. Clair County deputy met with Travis Stark, Century Link employee, on SE 650 Road just east of the Weaubleau Creek Bridge in reference to stealing and property damage.
        Stark stated he received a call from a Century Link customer reporting his phone and a neighbor's phone were not working. Stark stated he, along with another employee, responded to the area to fix the issue. He also stated as they crossed the Weaubleau Creek Bridge he noticed foot prints in the snow leading up to the road side box owned by Century Link. He said the green plastic cover was on the box but was facing the wrong direction.
         Stark said they had just recently worked on the phone box and it was not like that when they left. He said upon further inspecting of the box, it was determined the ground wire had been removed without authorization. Stark said approximately six to twelve inches of ground wire was missing from inside the box.
         Stark indicated they checked the next phone box, approximately 50 yards east of the first box, and found more wires had been removed. Stark stated the amount of wire stolen from both boxes would only be worth about $30.00, but the repair cost would likely exceed $1,000.00 because they will have to dig into the dirt and replace more wire for it to be properly functional again.
         Photos and evidence were collected from the scene.
