Deputies in North Carolina have arrested two people they believe have stolen $200,000 worth of antiques from a home in Alexander County last month.
Michael Knepp and Micki McPherson stole the items from the Bethlehem area home on December 29, investigators believe, where McPherson worked as an in-home health care worker for the victim.
Among the stolen goods were an antique silver tea set, pre-WWII Lionel model trains, jewelry, and a U.S. Navy sword that belonged to a Rear Admiral and winner of the Navy Cross.
Sheriff’s deputies were able to return the stolen items after finding the stolen silver at a business in Hickory, North Carolina.
