A man and woman from Jefferson City are facing charges in connection with recent thefts from vehicles.
Troy Wieberg, 33, of 300 Romar Place, is charged with possession of a controlled substance, possession of burglar's tools, receiving stolen property and possession of drug paraphernalia.
Jefferson City Police Department probable cause statements show Wieberg and Watts were taken into custody early Thursday morning from a vehicle parked on the parking lot of Walgreens on Missouri Boulevard.
"Several items which are commonly known to be used to commit burglaries were discovered in plain view inside the vehicle," according to the statements. The items consisted of bolt cutters, pry bars, a handheld police scanner and binoculars.
A further search of the vehicle turned up a glasses case that contained three syringes, a spoon with burnt residue and a bag containing a substance that later tested positive for methamphetamine.
A CenturyLink modem was also found in the vehicle, and it was later learned to have been stolen from a residence in Cole County. Also found were radios, a ski mask, several flashlights and black gloves.
Several notebooks containing "an extensive list of addresses in the Jefferson City area" were also found, according to the statements. The residences listed in the notebooks were located in an area where there had been numerous recent burglaries and thefts from vehicles.
Due to the large number of addresses and potential victims, authorities said further investigation will need to be completed and may uncover additional victims. Wieberg and Watts are currently awaiting trial on a burglary investigation from January.
