CENTRAL OHIO -- Four people have been arrested in the investigation into mail thefts from homes in Fairfield and Hocking counties.

Hocking County Sheriff Lanny North says the three men and a woman were taken into custody Tuesday near the community of Rockbridge. He says a search of a vehicle recovered several pieces of stolen mail.

Detectives believe the suspects are connected to a recent rash of thefts from mailboxes in Hocking County and neighboring Fairfield County.

Joseph Romine, Shaun Mowery and Jeffrey Rollins each were charged with breaking and entering.

Shelia Morrison, 23, was arrested on a warrant for a probation violation.

Additional charges were expected.
