Three Arrested for Monmouth Burglaries
Three Monmouth residents are in trouble with the law for a series of suspected burglaries in Warren County, and may be linked to one in Mercer County as well.

Warren County Sheriff Martin Edwards says 20 year old Earl Ragon, 20 year old Michael Goodell, and 17 year old Robert Talley all were arrested Wednesday on charges of Burglary, Possession of Stolen Property, and Theft of a Motor Vehicle.

Edwards say the three allegedly stole tools and various items of metal to sell for scrap, and they also allegedly stole an all terrain vehicle, and they're suspected of stealing a motorcycle in Mercer County, though charges have yet to be filed.

The three are in the Warren County Jail.
In the meantime, Edwards says two Roseville residents, 29 year old Joseph Cox and 18 year old Robert Keuffer, were arrested earlier in the month for allegedly stealing a car from a Roseville location, along with 50 bottles of liquor from a local bar.

Edwards also says 25 year old Brandon Majors of Monmouth is wanted in connection to the Roseville vehicle theft, as well as the theft of another car in Monmouth.

He's described as a white male, five feet eight inches tall, with blond hair and brown ayes, and Edwards says anyone who's seen Majors should call police or CrimeStoppers.
