Gary F. Gary, 27, Timothy Q. Ingram, 20 and Travis W. Moit, 25, all of Benton, are all charged with two counts of burglary and stealing, with bonds set at $7,500 each, the statement said.

Both burglaries apparently occurred in the Benton and Morley areas Tuesday.

Walter said several guns, a TV, a knife collection, prescription medications and other items were stolen and have been recovered. Police also arrested two men wanted on warrants during the investigation at one of the suspects' homes, Walter said. John Lewis, 18, of Benton, was arrested on a Scott County warrant for forgery and Robert A. Christian, 23, also of Benton, was arrested on a Missouri Department of Corrections warrant for being a parole absconder, Walter said.
