Deputies arrested two men and a teenage boy in connection to two rural residential break-ins in March.
Lancaster County Sheriff Terry Wagner asked for helping finding a third man, 46-year-old Robert Rice, who he described as a "person of interest" in the case.
Deputies have arrested Jose Granado, 22, and a 15-year-old relative on suspicion of break-ins March 6 at two homes near Conestoga Lake, Wagner said.
Another man, Kiev Hill, 20, was arrested on suspicion of two counts of possession of a stolen firearm.
In the first break-in, a door was forced open and a 40-inch LCD widescreen TV and alcohol taken, adding up to a $1,050 loss. About that same time, a couple of rifles and jewelry were taken from a nearby home. The loss was estimated at $13,650.
On April 30, deputies searched a duplex at 1619 S. 29th St., which led to the recovery of some of the stolen property, Wagner said. In all, investigators have found two rings, two firearms, the TV and power tools at four addresses, he said.
