Nathan Rose
St. Bernard Police said two crime stopper tips lead them to the Covington house.
With a search warrant, police recovered $10,000 worth of stolen toys. The two primary suspects admitted to the crime and cooperated with police, allowing officials to recover another $20,000 worth of items from a storage bin in Cincinnati, St. Bernard police said.
Police estimate they have recovered 90 percent of the goods stolen. St. Bernard police worked with police departments in Erlanger and Covington to make the arrests.
About 2,000 toys were stolen in the Christmas weekend burglary.
The investigation is ongoing.
