On April 6, 2022, Faulkner County Criminal Investigations Division learned that stolen property was being kept at a location near Moran Drive in Conway. Investigators made contact with a resident at the reported location and determined that one of the stolen trucks being investigated had just left the property. That vehicle, returned stolen out of Sheridan Police Department, was located in the woods behind the residence. A Chevrolet Camaro was also located that had been reported as stolen by the White County Sheriff's Office. A stolen dump bed trailer that had been connected to the stolen truck was recovered from the Brookfield Drive property on April 2, 2022. 

While Investigators were on scene at Moran Drive, a Sportsman travel trailer was also located and recovered, which had been reported stolen in December 2021 out of Faulkner County.  Information gathered during this investigation led to the recovery of a sailboat and trailer that was stolen at the same time as the Sportsman travel trailer.
