A man sought in connection with the discovery of more than $300,000 in stolen property has been arrested, but police are now looking for a second suspect.
Police had put out a call last Wednesday that they were looking for 40-year-old Richard Kyle Newstead.
Officials now say Newstead was arrested on Thursday.
A warrant for his arrest on five counts of posession of property obtained by crime over $5,000 had been issued after a police search found stolen vehicles, uniforms and disposable gloves with a combined value of $354,703.
Police say they also now have images of a second suspect captured on video surveillance and are asking for public help to identify him.
He is described as Caucasian, 45-65 years of age, with short grey receding hair and a goatee.
He was wearing a green long-sleeved shirt, jeans and black running shoes.
