GREAT BEND -Barton County Sheriff’s Deputies have made an arrest and recovered a large amount of stolen goods.

Barton County Sheriff Brian Bellendir reported officers responded to a call Saturday in the 700 block of Patton Road where a boat, trailer and several motors were reported stolen from Cape Marine business.

After a review of the security camera footage, officers identified a suspect and vehicle according to Bellendir.

Just before 2:30 p.m. officers identified the stolen items at the suspect’s house and a short time later arrested Brandon Williams, 30, Great Bend.
