GENEVA, Ala. (WDNews) – A Geneva man wanted in connection with a Holmes County burglary has been taken into custody, while investigators continue searching for additional stolen firearms, according to the Holmes County Sheriff’s Office.
On Thursday, November 6, investigators with HCSO, working alongside Alabama law enforcement, arrested Landon Epley in Geneva. Epley was one of three suspects identified in an October 30 armed burglary on Holiday Road, where deputies say 21 firearms were stolen.
Authorities previously arrested Thomas Music of Bonifay, who faces charges of armed burglary and grand theft of a firearm.
Following Epley’s arrest, investigators recovered several of the stolen firearms hidden in a wooded area in Westville. Additional searches are underway in Walton County, and one firearm was returned after a citizen voluntarily came forward after realizing he had unknowingly purchased one of the stolen weapons.
The Holmes County Sheriff’s Office said the investigation remains active, and additional arrests and recoveries are expected.
