Two arrested in gun shop burglary

KENNEWICK, Wash.-- Two men are in custody in connection with the Wedessday morning burglary of a Kennewick gun shop.

Kennewick Police say the Hole in the Wall in the 7500 block of W. Deschutes Ave. was broken into at about 2:15 a.m. Wednesday. Evidence from the scene led investigators to believe that at least two men were involved in the burglary. The pair allegedly stole several firearms.

Detectives identified two homes on N. Volland in Kennewick that might be connected with the thefts, and they secured and served search warrants on those properties Thursday afternoon.

Evidence collected in that search led detectives to a home in the 700 block of S. Union Street in Kennewick, where a search was conducted Thursday evening.

Blake Sickler, 27, with connections to the homes on Volland, and Timothy Horton, 38, were each taken into custody Thursday night.

Each man is charged with 6 counts of possession of a stolen weapon, being a felon in possession of a firearm, as well as burglary.
