OXFORD – A simple traffic stop uncovered not only outstanding warrants but stolen property as well.
Oxford police pulled over a car Saturday for a traffic violation. While talking with the driver and passenger, officers learned that both Morris Tallie, 31, and Christopher Kirkwood, 33, were wanted for burglary.
The two Oxford residents were arrested. A search of their car uncovered items that had been reported stolen earlier in the week. Through the interview process, investigators determined the items had been stolen from residences on Poplar Heights, Church Street and Murray Street. The suspects took investigators to a house on Campground Road where more stolen property was recovered.
Almost all of the property has been recovered. The men were charged with burglary. Bond was set at $10,000 for Tallie and $20,000 for Kirkwood.
