On Saturday morning at approximately 9:42 a.m., Wayne County Sheriff’s Deputies investigated a report of a stolen motor vehicle from rural Barnhill.
During the investigation, deputies located and recovered the stolen vehicle. Evidence gathered at the scene led deputies to develop two suspects — 19-year-old Luke C. Rankin of Fairfield, and a juvenile.
Deputies later located both individuals at a residence in Fairfield, where they were found to be in possession of stolen property from the vehicle. Both suspects were taken into custody. Rankin remains in the Wayne County Jail pending a court appearance.
