Jason Looper, 25, of Sallisaw, and Gary Real, 24, of Akins, were arrested separately and booked into the city jail on charges of second-degree burglary after former conviction of a felony and knowingly concealing stolen property, Philpot said.
The men allegedly burglarized a wholesale business in the old Marvin's IGA building on Cherokee Street in Sallisaw in mid-October and stole several hundred dollars worth of items, including tools, batteries, clothing, and hats, Philpot said.
Philpot said officers were investigating the incident when they received a lead to some of the stolen property at a county residence.
Police found stolen property on the suspects, and when questioned, the men confessed to the burglary, Philpot said.
Real and Looper are each being held in the city jail on $12,000 bonds.
