Two Jennings County residents were arrested on burglary charges earlier this week after an observant neighbor noticed suspicious activity.

The Jennings County Sheriff’s Department says that the 911 dispatch center received a call on Sunday, Sept. 10th about a suspicious vehicle parked in a neighbor’s driveway in Geneva Township. Deputies were able to intercept the vehicle and stopped it. They say that the vehicle’s trunk was open, exposing an air compressor and a weed eater. Authorities determined that the air compressor, weed eater and a gas can were stolen from an outbuilding behind a residence located on County Road 740 North.

Deputies arrested 35-year-old Jeremiah Anderson, of North Vernon, and 35-year-old Jerry L. Woodson, of Scipio. Authorities say that both men are facing preliminary charges of Burglary, Theft and Criminal Trespass.

The recovered property was returned to the owner.
