BOYD COUNTY, Ky. (WSAZ) -- Sheriff deputies say they have solved nine burglaries in the Westwood, Ironville, and Ashland areas of Boyd County.

It follows the arrest of five people Sunday.

Boyd County Deputies got a call from a woman who told them she caught three people in her home on Emitt Drive. Officers got there and arrested two men immediately, a third person a short time later, and then two more people later in the day.

According to a news release, the suspects gave their consent for officers to search two apartments, where deputies found stolen weapons, jewelry, cameras and video games.

Deputies arrested 19-year-old Willard Bowen of Huntington, 19-year old Thomas Baumgarten of Land O’ Lakes, Florida, 18-year-old William Hamilton of Ironville, Ky., 18-year old Breeanna Justice of Ashland, and a 17-year-old juvenile.

Justice told investigators that she drove the suspects around to commit the burglaries.

Deputies say the suspects told them they were armed when committing the burglaries.

All are charged with burglary.

I was just wondering if anyone knows what happened in court. I think they were supposed to go yesterday but have not seen any updates.

Are you kidding me. A 6 month pregnant woman is out driving a getaway car. Talk about child endangerment. WOW! How could one be so self centered and not think of what could go wrong? Hopefully the child will not be raised in this type of environment and hopefully not raised by the type of ignorant person who would be involved in this juvenile crime ring. Such a sad situation.
