A Kenai homeowner returned from out of state recently to discover their residence had been burglarized, according to Alaska State Troopers.
A Soldotna Alaska State Trooper K-9 unit responded to a Jo Street address on Sunday night. An unrelated traffic stop was conducted on Monday morning just after midnight on a 1999 maroon Audi passenger vehicle for an equipment violation.
The occupants of the vehicle were contacted and identified as 33-year-old Joshua Samuel Wilson of Kasilof and 39-year-old Henry Storm Sydnam of Anchorage. The Audi that was stopped by Alaska State Troopers was seen parked earlier in the day at the address that was burglarized.
Troopers report that several items that were reported stolen were observed in the vehicle. K-9 Donna indicated on the vehicle for the presence of the odor of controlled substances. Wilson and Sydnam were both arrested and transported to Wildwood Pretrial where they were remanded without bail on charges of 1st degree burglary, 2nd degree theft and 1st degree vehicle theft.
