Clovis police announced via Instagram that two individuals have been arrested in connection with the theft of construction equipment valued at more than $15,000.

The arrests followed the execution of a search warrant on Friday, May 24, during which the stolen equipment was recovered.

During this early morning incident on Friday, the suspects were apprehended after breaking into The Well Community Church. The stolen property has been returned to the construction company, authorities said.

Detectives with the Clovis Police Department received information on the location of the stolen property using technology and served a search warrant at a home in Fresno. During their search, detectives found all of the stolen equipment including lighting, tools, paint, and other items.

The suspects, identified as 35-year-old Bennett Ward and 47-year-old Brian Constantino of Fresno, were booked into Fresno County Jail on charges of felony burglary, conspiracy, and possession of stolen property.

Additionally, a third individual at the home was arrested on an unrelated warrant.
