WHITESBURG, Ky. — A Letcher County property was burglarized repeatedly over a period of two months, resulting in the property owner installing a trail camera. As a result, five people were arrested Sunday in connection with the incidents.

The property owner contacted Kentucky State Police about the burglaries, which resulted in the theft of a pickup truck, an ATV and numerous other items. He then showed a state trooper pictures from a trail camera, which showed several people taking items from the property.

The trooper recognized two of the people in the pictures as David Bowling, 48, and Jessica Wells, 40, who live in a camper on Harold Dixon Cemetery Road. The trooper went to the camper, where he found several of the stolen items, but Bowling and Wells weren’t there.

He then went to another home where the property owner had heard some more items could be found. At that location, police found several more items, along with Bowling, Wells and three other people.

Bowling, Wells and Joshua Maggard, 40, of Blackey, admitted to police that they had taken items from the property. They were arrested and charged with second-degree burglary.

The residents of the home — Robert Hollon, 55, and Paxton Madden, 63 — were also arrested and charged with receiving stolen property.
