N.D. (Associated Press) – Two Jamestown residents are accused of stealing nearly ,400 in merchandise from seven local stores this past summer.

Twenty-five-year-old Eric Kagle and 26-year-old Holly Maxwell face several misdemeanor and felony charges related to theft of property and dealing in stolen property.

Detective Sgt. Leroy Gross with the Jamestown Police Department tells NewsDakota.com that seven retail stores were affected, with the accused allegedly shoplifting several different kinds of items and then trying to sell many of those items for cash at two Jamestown retail stores.

Kagle’s attorney, Scott Sandness, declined comment. The attorney for Maxwell was out of the office early Wednesday and didn’t immediately respond to an Associated Press request for comment.

Police tell Ben Rodgers of The Jamestown Sun that the two suspects allegedly kept some of the property for themselves as well.
