Two men were arrested in Lincoln County late Tuesday in connection to recent thefts at a construction site.

Around 9:30pm, Lincoln County Sheriff's Deputies responded to a call reporting that contractors working at the old Kings Mtn School had caught two subjects on the property.

During their investigation, Deputies learned that the two men had unlawfully entered the property on multiple occasions to remove metal and copper wiring from the building. 

Deputy Brandon McIntosh arrested Steven Cook and Zachary Devine both of Stanford Ky. Both were charged with burglary 3rd degree.

During a follow up investigation by Deputy Ron Luster, it was determined that the subjects had sold the stolen metal to a scrap yard. 

Assisting were Lt. Michael Mullins, Deputy Butch Phillips and transport Deputy James Cunnigan.
