MARQUETTE, MI-- Two Gwinn residents have been arrested for stealing jewelry.
The Marquette Police Department says the arrests of Jason Joe Bennett, 34, and Christina Ann-Lane Koskela, 25, are the result of a two-month-long investigation.
Officers say Koskela’s 75-year-old grandmother reported her jewelry was stolen from her apartment while she was away on vacation. A review of records from a local jewelry store revealed the stolen items
were sold during that time.
Koskela is charged with larceny in a building—punishable by up to four years in prison and a $5,000 fine.
Bennett is charged with conspiracy to commit larceny in a building—which carries the same penalties—and a misdemeanor count of receiving and concealing stolen property, $200 or more but less than $1,000.
