Both the man and woman are white and 23 years old. Both have prior felony convictions.

At about 3:25 p.m. on Monday, deputies responded to the mobile home park for a reported burglary that had just occurred. A witness in the area reported seeing the male and female subjects removing a large, flat-screen television from a home.

The reporting party provided a detailed description of the suspects and their vehicle.

The sheriff’s office stated that further investigation yielded possible identities of suspects from the Robertsville area. These suspects’ photographs then were positively identified by the witness at the scene.

At about 10:50 p.m. Monday, deputies located the man and woman at their residence south of Robertsville. The suspects admitted to the burglary and were arrested.

During their questioning, the duo said after removing the television, they immediately drove to St. Louis and traded it for heroin.

The woman has 22 prior felony charges with 12 prior felony convictions.
