Police are on the lookout for two suspects after six firearms and hundreds, if not thousands, of rounds of ammunition were stolen from a Mossyrock house over the weekend, according to Interim Police Chief Jeremy Stamper.
The residence in the 200 block of Court Street was burglarized at least five times over the weekend; money, a vehicle and other items were stolen as well, according to the Mossyrock Police Department.

Arrest warrants have been issued for two 18-year-olds, Anthony S. Depuisaye-Greene, of Mossyrock, and his girlfriend Dezarai B. Johnson, of Sequim, according to police.
They are considered armed and dangerous, police said.
The pair are also wanted in connection with a burglary discovered Sunday afternoon in which $3,000 of jewelry was taken from the 300 block of East State Street in Mossyrock.
Officer Rebecca Sutherland said the pistols were all loaded and were taken from a secured gun room; the intruders removed the door from its hinges. The victim was away on vacation, she said.
Police believe the home was first broken into on Friday, based on statements from neighbors and a 17-year-old female who was arrested in Mossyrock on Sunday in connection with the burglary.
A Jeep across the street was prowled on Friday, Sutherland said.
The stolen vehicle, a 1998 Toyota RAVE, was recovered last night in in the Sequim area of Clallam County along with one of the guns, according to police.
The pair are also suspects in other burglaries and vehicle prowls in the area, according to police.
The police department is asking for the public’s help. Anyone with information on the suspects’ whereabouts is asked to call 911 immediately or, if they wish to remain anonymous, call Lewis County Crime Stoppers at 1-800-748-6422.
Update 2:10 p.m.: Chief Stamper just got word they are in custody in Clallam County. The teenagers were found in a convenience store east of Sequim and arrested without incident, according to the Clallam County Sheriff’s Office.
