Chatham County deputies responded to a burglary call at a home on N.C. 751 on Feb. 22, when Lancaster and two other people reported various items had been stolen, including assorted work tools and two firearms.
Investigators searched pawn shop records and discovered that some of the stolen items were pawned in Sanford by Lancaster. Deputies recovered several of the stolen items last week.
