Investigation leads to two arrests in Mahaska County hog confinement thefts

February 18, 2015 By Radio Iowa Contributor

Two people are facing charges following multiple livestock burglaries in southeast Iowa. The Mahaska County Sheriff’s office ended a six-week long investigation which involved approximately 22 burglaries and thefts from hog confinements in the rural Barnes City area and southern Poweshiek County.

Around $25,000 in hogs and cattle were stolen with the total value of all thefts exceeding $30,000. Officers seized tools and hog related equipment during the investigation. The stolen livestock was sold in sale barns in two counties. Nineteen-year-old Bret Allen Doty of rural Malcom and a male juvenile are both charged with first-degree theft and third-degree burglary.
