Lincoln County Sheriff's Office deputies have arrested and charged two men in relation to the theft of an estimated $20,000 in stolen goods.

Richard Davidson, 25, and Greg Moss, 22, both of Libby, were each charged with theft and burglary, both felonies, on Friday, Oct. 7, Sgt. Brandon Holzer said.

Deputies found the stolen goods after a traffic stop on Sept. 24 after the driver in the stop led Holzer on a pursuit to the driver's home.

Holzer has said he believes the items, which number in the hundreds, were stolen to support the men's drug habits.

The recovered items were stolen over the past two months, Holzer said. They include tools, televisions, guns, fishing rods, computer monitors, a 12,000-pound wench and many more.
