CHEHALIS – Sheriff’s deputies filled a 22-foot cargo trailer with what is believed to be stolen property collected yesterday at a home on the 100 block of Romerman Road in Chehalis.

The Lewis County Sheriff’s Office served a search warrant about 3 p.m. at the residence which was once occupied by David Dehaven, 32, and his 38-year-old acquaintance Carly Holmes. Both are currently in custody at the Lewis County Jail for charges filed last month by prosecutors for theft, theft of a motor vehicle and robbery, according to the sheriff’s office.

Chief Deputy Bruce Kimsey said deputies are matching the property recovered to about 10 burglaries and other crimes from Centralia to Winlock that go back to August.

Sheriff Rob Snaza said in a press release his office will continue to pursue those who break the law and those that choose to victimize citizens.

“The hard work of our deputies will result in several victims being able to have their stolen property returned to them,” Snaza stated. “Property crimes are devastating on those that work hard and provide for their families.”

Deputies will be sorting through what they found and contacting victims to come to the sheriff’s office’s evidence facility to identify their belongings, according to Kimsey.

Anyone with information on these crimes or any other crime, is asked to contact the Lewis County Sheriff’s Office at 360-748-9286.
